Between 1980 and 2015, the number of people incarcerated in America increased from near 500,000 to over 2.2 million. Today, 1 in every 37 adults in the United States is under some form of correctional supervision. While this punishment creep impacts communities, populations, and individuals in different ways, its presence impacts our local community in distinct ways.

You are invited to a round table where community members directly address how they see the workings of mass incarceration at the local level (even at UF) and share their ideas for imagining a different future.

Event parking in Reitz Union or adjacent lots on Museum Road.

This event is organized by the Intersections Group on Mass Incarceration, sponsored by the Center for the Humanities in the Public Sphere.
