UCLA Law alumni and current Parole Commissioner Jack Weiss joined us to talk with our students about his role as a commissioner and the California parole process.
As the semester ends, we look back on CJP's incredible lineup of events this semester!
We kicked it off with our panel on the closure of CA's youth prisons, w/ Ka’lee Matthews @AHJNetwork, Grecia Reséndez @CJCJ (Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice) & Aditi Sherikar @cdfca
Following that, we hosted Judge John Gleeson who talked about his efforts through the Holloway Project to advocate for second look sentencing for people incarcerated in the federal system. @Debevoise
Next was our panel focused on how attorneys advocating for incarcerated people in prisons can partner with journalists to expose dangerous and sometimes deadly conditions inside, featuring Corene Kendrick (ACLU) and Jimmy Jenkins (Arizona Republic).
@ProfSPatel provides a framework for analyzing policing within institutional settings, showing how bureaucratic organizations use #police to control & manage race-class subjugated individuals.
