In the past 20 years the prison population in the United States has
skyrocketed. According to recent statistics by the Pew Charitable
Trusts, one in 106 white males, one in 36 Hispanic males, and one
infive black males are incarcerated. This panel, moderated by Dr.
Charles J. Ogletree, professor of Law, Harvard University, will
highlight the impact of mass incarcerations on African-American and
other minority communities.
The discussion will serve as a catalyst for solutions to eliminating
the disproportionate sentencing of minorities who are shuttled through
the criminal justice system, and offer options for the road toeconomic
recovery for returning offenders looking for work.
