Behind Bars, Beyond Health: Equity & Incarceration in America

This discussion with Jason Schnittker, professor of sociology, about his book, Prisons and Health in the Age of Mass Incarceration, moderated by Rachel M. Werner, Penn LDI executive director, will explore the complex and often contradictory relationship between incarceration and health in the U.S., where more than two million people are currently behind bars. The conversation will highlight how incarceration shapes health outcomes not only for those who are confined but also for families, communities, and society at large. Register to attend.
