Is California Ready for a New Model of Prison?

SMC Social Justice Speaker Series and the Social Sciences Division of SOLA is proud to present a fascinating lecture by Kenneth E. Hartman, speaking on California prisons and prison reform, from his first-hand experience. In 1980, at the age of 19, Kenneth Hartman was sentenced to life without parole. But 37 years later, he had his sentence commuted to life WITH parole; and then he earned parole release. Since then, he has been working in the area of prison reform, guided by his unique perspective. Co-sponsored by the Social Justice Speaker Series and the Social Sciences Division of SOLA.
