Beyond the Bars: Alternatives to Prison and Punishment

• Current Affairs

Lara Bazelon, Tony Platt, Albert Woodfox, moderated by Rachel Herzing

What could the world look like without prisons? What kinds of healing—what new definitions of justice—could take their place? Join University of San Francisco law professor Lara Bazelon (“Rectify”), activist Tony Platt (“Beyond These Walls”), and Albert Woodfox (“Solitary”), one of the Angola 3 who spent decades in solitary confinement for a crime he did not commit. They look at the violent history behind mass incarceration and imagine alternatives.
