This Thursday, February 4th catch a screening of The Farm: 10 Down at 4pm. A documentary about Angola: America's oldest and largest prison, with 5,200 inmates, most of whom have received life-, or death-,sentences for violent crimes, and will never leave Angola. The film is the sequel to the documentary about the men in this Louisiana penitentiary made in 1999 who taught us and continue to show that an essential part of the "correction" system is compassion and that true freedom comes through forgiveness. Join the Director and members of the Congressional Black Caucus, representatives from the criminal justice system, scholars, and community leaders to partake in a forum on policy choices and sentencing practices that create massive racial incarceration disparities and gutted communities.
