At the intersection of mass incarceration and environmental/psychic degradation
Panagioti Tsolkas moderates this panel, which explores the intersections between the epidemic of mass incarceration and the environmental degradation which occurs, directly and indirectly, as a result of it, including: the immediate impacts of pollution from these often-overpopulated human warehouses; the environmental racism of where prisons are built and how they operate; the re-branding of prisons as part of a “green” economy; and the use of prison as a tool for repressing ecological movements aimed at changing the current political/economic system.
The panelists are Paul Wright--editor, Prison Legal News, executive director, Human Rights Defense
Center;
Michael Coyle--author, activist, Associate Professor at Cal State Chico
Ben Rosenfeld--Attorney and Board member, Civil Liberties Defense Center,
Max Rameau, Director, Center for Pan African Development;
Chaone Mallory, Assoc. Professor, Villanova University, PA
