About this Event

The Pr*son Industry: How It Works and Who Profits

Katie Crisp, SCSJ, will moderate a discussion with Bianca Tylek, author of The Pr*son Industry: How it Works and Who Profits, and Dr. Craig Waleed, Project Manager for Unlock the Box (UTB) and the End Solitary NC Campaign, Disability Rights North Carolina, to unpack the financial incentives driving mass incarceration and explore how we can disrupt them. This event is an opportunity to learn more about the ways the carceral system profits at the expense of marginalized communities and explore the transformative work of Worth Rises and our partners.
