After the simulation at the Capitol, I will host a panel discussion with Andrew Clark, Director of the Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy, “INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE EXCHANGE: FROM CONNECTICUT TO NORWAY AND BACK.”
The discussion will focus on the International Justice Exchange project and what we learned during our fact-finding trip to Norway a few months ago. We will discuss how Norway reimagined their penal system and redesigned one with one of the lowest recidivism rates globally, at 20%, compared with 76.6% of incarcerated people recidivating within five years in the United States.
The discussion will be held at the Legislative Office Building (LOB) in room 2E from 2 pm - 4 pm where and when we will hear from a distinguished panel consisting of our esteemed guest Per Sigurd Vage visiting from Norway, justice-impacted people, lawmakers, advocates and retirees from DOC and Probation.
I hope to see you there! |
