Hosted by the NYU Wagner Criminal Justice Student Group, the Students of African Descent Alliance, and the Correctional Association of NY.

Join leading academicians, activists, political figures and lawyers in a discussion on a critical, oft neglected, public policy issue of the day: how police, prosecutorial and prison related practices lead to the dramatically disproportionate confinement of poor people of color.

- Kamau Karl Franklin, Racial Justice Fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights and co-chair of the National Conference of Black Lawyers.

- Dennis Smith, Associate Professor of Public Policy at NYU Wagner.

Moderated by:
