Join Vermonters for Criminal Justice Reform and the Turning Point Center in a screening of 'The House I Live In', a documentary that explores the risks that prohibition poses to freedom, and the tragedy of addicts being treated as criminals. In the four decades since the War on Drugs commenced, over 45 million addicts have been arrested - and for each one jailed, another family is destroyed. Meanwhile, the prisons in America are growing overcrowded with non-violent criminals, and illegal drugs are still being sold in schoolyards. By examining just where it all went wrong, Jarecki reveals that a solution is possible if we can just find it in ourselves to be compassionate, and see past the decades of paranoia and propaganda.

If this is an issue that is important to you, please visit vermontersforcriminaljusticereform.org to learn more about the organization and sign a petition to bring the nearly 500 Vermonters who are shipped out of state to be held in private prisons in Kentucky and Arizona home to Vermont.
