About this Event
Eighteen months ago, two local groups -- and -- partnered with the to investigate the carceral system in Berks County. The project, called Walk With Us, began in response to plans for a new county J*il, but it became much more than that. Our report highlights the voices of system-impacted people who are typically left out of the planning process, exposes the true costs of J*il detention, and offers a vision for a safe, healthy and thriving Berks.
, for an exciting evening at the WCR Center where we'll share our findings and recommendations. Weβll have a few speeches (not too many), audio interviews, charts, graphs, and time to talk to each other. The evening will also include a fun, hands-on painting project for a series of public murals and delicious, free dinner catered by Southern Side Kitchen.
You won't want to miss this, but if you can't make it, feel free to invite a friend or colleague who cares about public safety.
