JOIN US on Tuesday Jan 24, 12 - 1:15 pm in Contois Auditorium, Burlington City Hall.
In the last 30 years, the number of women prisoners in Vermont grew at a rate more than three times that of male prisoners. And when women are incarcerated, children are disproportionately affected as well. Join us for a panel discussion about how Vermont's criminal justice system impacts women, and hear some of the efforts underway to support justice-involved women and reduce unnecessary and counterproductive incarceration. Learn about "For the Sake of the Children," the campaign to "De-carcerate Vermont," and Mercy Connections' mentoring program--and what you can do to help.
Panelists:
- Suzi Wizowaty, Director of Vermonters for Criminal Justice Reform
- Pam Greene, Mercy Connections' Director of Mentoring and Justice.
