EVENT: Wed., Jan. 28---WOMEN, RACE AND INCARCERATION

Suffolk County Sheriff Andrea Cabral headlines a discussion about women, race and incarceration, hosted by the Massachusetts Bar Association. According to a description of the event, "Rates of incarceration have soared over the last three decades, giving the United States the distinction of having the highest incarceration rate in the world. Incarceration and its after effects have become racial justice issues because rates of incarceration are higher for men and women in communities of color."
