Encounters: States of Incarcertation

Saturday, April 6th, 2019

Downtown Hartford
artford History Center at the Hartford Public Library

“I have here unjustly suffered so much, and seen, and heard so much, that I am not as I was; my nature has become changed and hardened against my race—I feel myself let loose from all the ties of society—and that I have lost almost all the feelings of humanity.” This quote from an unnamed prisoner of Old Newgate Prison, the nation's first state prison, speaks to the dehumanizing and life-altering impact of imprisonment. Join us as we discuss both the historical and contemporary issue of incarceration at the local and national level to get a better understanding of how prisons function in American society. To reserve a seat and lunch, please RSVP to jeagosto@hplct.org.
