- Saturday, November 23rd.
- 9am-5pm PST in three segments with working breakout sessions after each segment and two 20 min breaks.
The purpose of the conference is:
○ To explore what life is like for people and their families experiencing incarceration and after release.
○ To highlight programs and initiatives that successfully prepare and support this community
○ To offer new opportunities for partnerships in this realm
○ To inspire people to support effective programs
There are three segments:
- What's it like to be in prison and what resources and organizations are helping with the healing and re-orientation/rehabilitation needed
- What’s it like to walk out the gates and be on parole? What are the challenges of reentry, and what type of support is needed and available?
- What work is being done to address underlying systemic issues? What else is possible?
