Stop Solitary CT is hosting a Pre- Thanksgiving dinner on Monday, November 20, 2023, at 5-8pm at WhitneyVille Commons, 1253 Whitney Ave, Hamden CT.
We are coming together to honor the lives of those lost in DOC custody this year as well as to show support to the families of incarcerated individuals. We have invited an amazing experienced clinical psychologist, Dr. Nneka Jones Tapia to engage in a discussion about incarceration and its impact on incarcerated people, their loved ones, correctional staff and whole communities. "It's a system that is making all of us sick". She is a former warden from Chicago who led the Chicago Beyond partnership with Cook County's Sheriff's office to reduce harms caused by correctional institution using a framework developed from her experience working in correctional institutions.
Free and open to the public to the public. Dinner will be served.
