Bill Keller at WAC Downtown

Thursday, December 1, 2022
7:00pm — 8:00pm CT
The World Affairs Council of Greater Houston, Downtown

What happens inside prisons and jails, where nearly two million Americans are held?

Bill Keller, one of America’s most accomplished journalists, has spent years deeply immersed in the subject, and argues that prisons must become places where rehabilitation is a top priority. What’s Prison For? is a clear-eyed, indispensable guide to the raging national debate about criminal justice, and also a global tour of techniques for operating prisons.

It’s possible, Keller shows us, to have a prison system that isn’t a source of national shame and that doesn’t leave everyone involved in it worse off.

 

This is event will be in-person.
