Campaign for Smart Justice – ACLU Vermont
Sunday June 24 at 3pm at Rokeby Museum
The U.S. represents just 4% of the world's population, yet locks up nearly 25% of the world's prisoners. Nationwide, Black and Latinx communities are over-represented in the system. Vermont's incarceration rate has followed national trends and incarcerates African American men at a higher rate than any other state.
ACLU Vermont is part of the Campaign for Smart Justice – a national initiative that seeks to cut the number of people in prison by half through innovative and necessary reforms.
Learn about a variety of solutions to this problem at Rokeby Museum this Sunday at 3pm.
The presentation includes a screening of three short films that premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, telling the first-hand stories of three people who have been incarcerated: Lavette Mayes, Jason Hernandez and Johnny Perez.
