Bill Keller with Premal Dharia
Tuesday, October 11, 2022
6:00pm — 7:00pm ET
The Ivy Bookshop, Baltimore
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.

This is event will be in-person, on The Ivy's back patio.
