Hello All,
Sorry for the late notice, but there is a really neat panel discussion tomorrow. It is about reforming the criminal justice system in Ohio. It is called An End To Lock 'Em Up Politics. It is taking place tomorrow, Wednesday, November 4th at 6 pm at the Greater Cincinnati Urban League 3458 Reading Road, Cincinnati, OH 45229
This event is free and open to the public, but they would like you to RSVP to 216--472-2220 or by e-mail contact@acluohio.org
Here is their flier's description of the event:
Join us for a panel discussion on criminal justice reform in Ohio. For decades, Ohio politicians sought to be "tough on crime," rather than smart on crime. They have continually increased criminal penalties, regardless of their ineffectiveness at improving public safety or reducing recidivism. Because of these policies, prisons designed to house 38,000 people now hold over 52,000. Meanwhile, the resulting expenses strain state and county bugets-without making us safer. Co-sponsored by the ACLU of Ohio, the Ohio Innocence Project, and the Ohio Justice and Policy Center.
I hope some of you can be a part of this event.
