In an effort to shed more light on Delaware’s correctional system, Sen. Marie Pinkney and Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown will host a two-day, all-virtual State of State of Corrections Summit next week.
Scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both Tuesday, February 22, and Wednesday, February 23, the event will feature national speakers, a community listening session, and a series of roundtable discussions. Roundtable topics will include physical and mental wellness of incarcerated people, the reach of the juvenile justice system, the lived experiences of correctional staff, the state’s expanding re-entry programs and more.
A full list of panel descriptions, panelist bios and panel registration links now can be found at www.desenatedems.com/sosc.html. Feel free to reach out if I can help answer any questions about the State of State Corrections Summit, which will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
