SUMMARY:Rethinking Incarceration with Dominique Gilliard
DESCRIPTION:As we know\, the US has more people locked up in jails\, prisons\, and detention centers than any other country in the history of the world. We also know that the criminal justice system is plagued with bias and unjust practices. And the church has unwittingly contributed to the problem\, something that we may not know. Dominique Gilliard explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration\, examining the churches’ role in its evolution and expansion. He then shows how we can pursue justice that restores and reconciles\, offering creative solutions and highlighting innovative interventions. The church has the power to help transform our criminal justice system. Discover how you can participate in the restorative justice needed to bring authentic rehabilitation\, lasting transformation\, and healthy reintegration to this broken system. Hope you will join us. Please rsvp so we can plan to have enough space for you.  \n \n\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDjYMHXBAOFBCW5DWgKSlje3NCc33KfKdA_PRtiCZzQYUHNQ/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1498135098&entry.2606285
