Crime & Punishment in America - Screening & Discussion

​Join regional leaders and MPT in learning from our past to envision a better future and understanding of what true justice can and should look like in America.

We are partnering with MPT on a screening of Crime and Punishment in America, a new four-part, eight-hour documentary series that explores the history of criminal justice in America — from the pre-colonial period to 21st century mass incarceration.
