- Description:
- This video features proceedings from a criminal justice symposium held at the Interdenominational Theological Center sponsored by the Lowery Institute for Justice and Human Rights. The symposium focused on the topics of alternative sentences, mandatory sentences, sentencing disparities, and prisoner rehabilitation. Panelists address the topic "Movement Toward Reform", emphasizing the need to renew oneself for the better, make wiser decisions, and work together in order to make positive changes in society. Panelists also discuss reforming the criminal justice system, preventing juveniles from going to jail, and changing the ways that prison systems are designed based on power structure to target poor people and communities. This video concludes with a question and answer segment between participants and panelists.
