Mass Incarceration from Inside Tuesday April 21 - 3:00pm What specific American factors contribute to so many people being locked up in “the land of the free?” Is crime simply worse in America than in other countries—and if so, why? How can American society shift its values and practices to decrease crime and the incidence of incarceration? And can some of that transformative work be effectively done in carceral settings? Master’s student Kylee Monkiewicz presents “The Land of the Free? Teaching and Learning About Mass Incarceration from Inside,” a reflection on personal and social accountability, the two million lives on hold in American jails and prisons and the worthy human effort toward perfecting one’s self in an imperfect world. Monkiewicz studies education and social Justice and equity at Boston University and teaches History of Incacereration in America at the Franklin County Jail and House of Correction.
