This semester, Prison Birth Project is hosting its second annual symposium, Parenting from Prison: Time for One is Time for All. We aim to raise awareness and foster a discussion about our state’s prison system and the negative effects it has on those that are incarcerated and their loved ones in order to work collaboratively towards systematic changes. The symposium will feature keynote speaker Cindy Shank, a previously incarcerated activist and advocate for abolishing mandatory minimum sentences. There will be several breakout workshop options relating to birth in prison, criminal justice advocacy, and diversion programs. There will also be a presentation about a current bill related to criminal justice advocacy.
