Incarceration and the Common Good

Incarceration and the Common Good is supported by a Mass Humanities Common Good Reads grant, which is part of the Pulitzer Prizes Centennial Campfires Initiative. Sociologist and oral historian Revan Schendler and local playwright Trenda Loftin are leading a discussion series centered around Douglas A. Blackmon’s Slavery by Another Name: the Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II (Pulitzer Prize General Nonfiction Winner 2009) and Loftin’s “When the System Swallows You.”

This program is open to incarcerated residents and staff at the Greenfield Jail.
