Incarceration Justice Meeting with Charles Allen, DC Council Member – October 10, 2023
On Tuesday, October 10, at 7 pm we viewed a documentary on returning citizens in Washington, DC and welcomed Ward 6 Councilman Charles Allen.
The documentary, “Redemption,” featured men from DC who have rejoined their communities after serving time in prison and are working toward violence prevention.
Our special guest, Councilman Charles Allen, discussed ways we can understand the connections between racial and economic inequity, the harmful effects of mass incarceration, and how to promote public safety, specifically in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. For Q&A, he was joined by the filmmaker and some of the returning citizens featured in the film.
