REHEARSAL FOR CHANGE: OVERPUNISMENT
Join Voices Unbarred and DC Justice Lab for the latest event in our Rehearsal for Change series. These interactive, Legislative Theatre events explore issues of incarceration using Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) techniques, performance, and centering the lived experiences of individuals who are systems-impacted. These community-centered events offer an entry point for people to engage in deep conversation and brainstorm more effective policies alongside people directly impacted and policy experts.
Join us on May 18th to focus on the issue of over punishment in our carceral system. We will explore the ways in which we over punish people who are incarcerated, the efforts that are currently underway to combat some of these issues in DC, and how we can develop a new approach that focuses on holding people accountable and healing harm rather than inhumane punishment.
