Bodies & Bondage
A History of California Prisons
Every month, we invite members, non-members, activists, organizers, lawyers and legal workers to join us for the NLGSF “Join the Conversation” Membership Meeting
Each month will feature a political discussion. This month we will hold a discussion onBodies and Bondage A History of California’s Prisons with Jared Rudolph of the Prison Advocacy Network. Jared Rudolph is a criminal defense attorney and the founder of Prisoner Reentry Network,a nonprofit that supports successful transitions from incarceration to the community. California’s prison system started as a privately-run barge anchored in the Bay, and was embroiled in corruption, political scandal, and violence. Since then, our system has grown to incarcerate more people than the population of Berkeley. Prisons represent the power of the state in its most raw and basic form, and 165 years later Californians are still confronting the same fundamental questions: Why do we incarcerate people, what happens when they leave, and can we do better?
