Join us for a powerful conversation on how religion has shaped—and can transform—systems of punishment. Our panel features a theologian advocating for criminal justice reform, a man formerly sentenced to life in prison at age 16, a psychologist specializing in law and neuroscience, and a lawyer who practices restorative justice. Together, they’ll explore how faith communities can confront their roles in oppression and advocate for compassionate, equitable approaches to justice.
