Location: Graduate Center at the City University of New York

Event Date: June 7, 2005

Speakers: Kathy Boudin, Michelle Fine, Tamar Kraft-Stolar, Joshua Price, Vivian Nixon

Moderator: Patricia Clough

Points for Action:

• Integrate prison reform into other progressive reformist work.

• Reinvest our tax dollars in social programs, including education, which prevent incarceration rather than using them to build more prisons.

• Analyze the incarceration experience using a gendered lens to better understand and address the negative impacts of incarceration on individuals, families, and communities.
