Recap: College Behind Bars Screening
A short recap of the Ethics Institute's latest event, a screening of "College Behind Bars."
"College Behind Bars" Screening [Rescheduled]
Event Description: College Behind Bars raises a number of ethical questions about both higher education and incarceration in the United States. Who in the United States has access to educational opportunity and higher education? In what ways is the answer to this question connected to mass incarceration in the United States? Is public resistance to state funded higher education for incarcerated people justified? What is the purpose of prisons? If the United States prison system is meant to be a "corrections" system, what role ought "rehabilitation" play in that system? What is rehabilitation, and what role can or should higher education play in it?
