Excessive Punishment - How The Justice System Creates Mass Incarceration
Channel: New America
Date: 23/04/2024

A recently published book, Excessive Punishment: How the Justice System Creates Mass Incarceration, traces how a maze of local, state and federal agencies have contributed to mass incarceration and deterred attempts at reform. A wide-ranging and powerful look at the failures of the status quo, Excessive Punishment also considers how to reimagine the justice system to support restoration instead of retribution.
New America and the Brennan Center for Justice invited you to join a conversation highlighting ways to reimagine our system of justice and eliminate many of America’s punitive policies that tear apart our communities without making us safer. 
This event will take place in-person at New America’s downtown DC office (740 15th Street, NW, Suite 900, Washington, DC 20005). The main event will also be recorded and streamed online for virtual attendees.

Speakers:
Ted Johnson, Senior Advisor, Executive Office, New America 
L.B. Eisen, Senior Director of the Justice program, Brennan Center for Justice
Nicole Porter, Senior Director of Advocacy, The Sentencing Project
Ed Chung, Vice President - Initiatives, Vera
