From WGTE PUBLIC MEDIA
WGTE Public Media, in collaboration with The Board of Lucas County Commissioners and the John D. and Catherine T MacArthur Safety + Justice Challenge, is presenting “Rethinking Jails + Justice,” a 10-episode podcast and two community town halls that examine and challenge conventional thinking about over-incarceration that adversely and disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities.
This project will kick off on Wednesday, Jan. 10 at 5:30 p.m. at the downtown Main Branch Library McMaster Center, as WGTE invites the community to attend and discuss the state of Lucas County’s criminal justice system.
Past and present community leaders and government officials will attend to answer questions and relay further information on what has been done to combat the issues and concerns of the justice system and what is currently being worked on.
Questions, concerns and comments may be asked and stated at the event or submitted ahead of time to townhall@wgte.org.
