Reuben Jonathan Miller, author of Halfway Home: Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration, will be a headlining speaker at the Virginia Festival of the Book.
His March 16 talk at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center will begin at 7 p.m.
Miller will discuss his work studying mass incarceration, including life after incarceration, sharing the stories of the men, women, and communities fighting against a system that is designed for them to fail. His poignant and eye-opening call to arms reveals how laws, rules, and regulations extract a tangible cost not only from those working to rebuild their lives, but also our democracy. In conversation with Yahusef Medina.
Book sales and a signing will follow.
The event is free and open to the public.
