Event Navigation
On March 28 from 18.00 at Sexyland (Amsterdam), Foundation Restorative Justice Netherlands + RESCALED together with Incarceration Nations Network [INN] organizes a film screening of the short film ‘Correcting Correctional Centers’, directed by Baz Dreisinger.
For over 200 years we have used prison as punishment, but does prison serve the purpose for which it was conceived? On March 28, prison as punishment is up for debate. Is it still appropriate and desirable in these days and this age or is it the power of habit? Is prison as a means of punishment still widely supported by the population? If so, for whom and for whom it is not (anymore)? We are going to find out together with you in this year 2022! March 28 is the starting signal! On this evening you can participate in the discussion, look at good examples and during a drink in the café exchange ideas with people who are already working on great initiatives!
Baz was born and raised in New York and she is the founder of Incarceration Nations Network. This is a global network of people and organizations that supports and discusses innovative prison reform. This evening we celebrate the nice things that have already been done. We’ll discuss and see examples of substitutions for imprisonment. We speak to people who have been working to improve criminal justice for years and we hear from people who have lived in prisons. Spoken word artist Quinsy Gario will sum up the evening in his words as a closing.
If you would like to join us for a (Caribbean) dinner beforehand together with people from RJN, Incarceration Nations Network and other visitors, please sign up for dinner (free of charge) between 18.00 and 19.30 via email to Mariel: secretariaat@restorativejustice.nl
