Description

*This is a repost of an event from the AoK! If you are interested in attending this event, please visit this link for the original post here. This event will be hosted online. Attached is a flyer of future symposiums on the pervasiveness of incarceration.*

In this presentation, we will discuss the alarmingly high rate of incarceration in the United States and in Maryland, as well as racial discrimination resulting in incarceration. Next, we’ll dive into how prison librarians encourage inmates to use their libraries in preparation for successful re-entry.
