Can Parole be Rehabilitated?
Please join The Sentencing Project for a national dialogue on whether the parole system can be "rehabilitated."
Inspired by Ben Austen’s new book, Correction: Parole, Prison and the Possibility of Change, panelists will discuss the history and intent of parole and how it has evolved over the decades based on research and personal experiences. Panelists will also discuss whether this system can be rehabilitated, or whether states should look to enacting second look judicial resentencing legislation instead. Lastly, we will also discuss concepts of restorative justice and how to engage victims in a trauma-informed way.
Panelists include:
Ben Austen, Journalist from Chicago and the author of Correction: Parole, Prison, and the Possibility of Change
Lisa D. Daniels, Founder and Executive Director of the Darren B. Easterling Center for Restorative Practices
Michelle Lewin, Executive Director, Parole Prep Project
Anthony Muhammad, Advisor, ACLU of Maryland/Maryland Parole Partnership
This discussion will be moderated by Becky Feldman, Director of the Second Look Network at The Sentencing Project
