About this Event
Rebuilding a life after incarceration is difficult. How difficult? Join us on Saturday, March 1st at Brodie Gym’s upper courts on Duke's East Campus from 1 to 4 p.m. to experience it for yourself at our Reentry Simulation. This immersive, three-hour event is being put on by the Duke Justice Project and OurJourney, a North Carolina non-profit founded by formerly incarcerated people. Attendees will essentially play a "role-playing game," in which they adopt the persona of a recently released formerly incarcerated person, and learn how hard it is to navigate the world and the barriers that people face when they leave Pr*son. There will be time at the end for sharing and hearing from speakers who have experience with the Pr*son system.
This is a great chance to learn more about the systems we have in this state, as well as to meet like-minded people who care about Pr*son reform.
We welcome all attendees, and you do not have to be a Duke affiliate! Just please make sure that we know that you're coming, and whether or not you need parking. We will email all who register with more detailed instructions regarding where to park (it's free) and how to find the event location. Lunch will also be provided!
