Incarceration inflicts short and long-term harms on the lives of those incarcerated as well as their loved ones and communities. This webinar will discuss the myriad collateral consequences of criminal conviction, including impediments to the restoration of rights, social stigma and re-entry, and the impact incarceration has on families, including children of (formerly) incarcerated parents. The dialogue will be hosted by NURFC scholar in residence Dr. Jennifer Suchland and include special guests:

  • Veda Ajamu, Director of Community Engagement and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives at the National Civil Rights Museum and criminal justice reform advocate
  • Kevin Ring, President of Families Against Mandatory Minimums
  • Dr. Ebony Ruhland, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati
