Join ACS and criminal justice advocates for a conversation about the private detention industry in the United States. Experts and advocates will discuss the proliferation of the for-profit incarceration model, the consequences for detained individuals and targeted communities, and the challenges the industry poses to advocates and attorneys.

Our conversation will include Bob Libal, Executive Director of Grassroots Leadership. Grassroots Leadership fights to end for-profit incarceration and reduce reliance on criminalization and detention through direct action, organizing, research, and public education. We will also have a speaker from the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition (TCJC). TCJC advances solutions that transform the adult and youth justice systems to strengthen families and foster safer communities.

Lunch will be served. We look forward to seeing you there!
