A Conversation on Reentry with Kamala Harris, Jakada Imani, Jessica Flintoft, and Lateefah Simon
California has a recidivism rate of 70%, the highest rate in the nation. What are we doing to reduce this rate of recidivism? What are the costs of mass imprisonment to our society and to our communities? What are we doing for people when they are in prison/jail and when they are released? What are some of the innovative approaches to reentry and rehabilitation that are currently being implemented?
Please join us for a discussion on the critical issues of rehabilitation and reentry. We will be joined by some of California’s most outspoken leaders and advocates on this issue.
All are welcome.
