Making and Unmaking Mass Incarceration

Continuing the work of the University of Mississippi’s Rethinking Mass Incarceration in the South conference in 2014 ad 2016 and Harvard’s Beyond the Gates conference in 2018, the Making and Unmaking Mass Incarceration conference on December 5-7, 2019 will bring together nationally-recognized scholars, activists, policymakers, lawyers, artists, and students at the University of Mississippi to better understand the history of mass incarceration and re-imagine a future in which prisons are not our society’s answer to social and economic problems.
