SAVE THE DATE: APRIL 11, 2025The Understanding and Responding to Mass Incarceration (URMI) 2025 Conference: "Wrongful Conviction, Wrongful Incarceration," will amplify the voices of those whose lives have been disrupted by wrongful conviction and incarceration—those unjustly incarcerated, their loved ones, and their communities.
Wrongful conviction may occur due to prosecutorial and police misconduct, ineffective legal counsel, dubious or flawed forensic evidence, false confessions, and mistaken eyewitness identification. Wrongful conviction and incarceration disproportionately affect communities of color, thus bolstering the system of mass incarceration and disenfranchisement. These realities damage the marginalized and the public good, demanding urgent response.
Presented in collaboration with MN Wrongfully Convicted Judicial Reform (MNWCJR).
Join us for a powerful gathering where we will hear from those with lived experience, alongside experts, panelists, and breakout sessions. We will explore these critical issues and offer specific action steps toward systemic change.
The annual URMI conference—now in its twelfth year—is free and all are welcome to participate! Registration will be required; stay tuned for registration details.
