LACUNY Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable

The Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable provides a forum for librarians who support, or are interested in supporting, library services for incarcerated people to discuss current issues, broaden their understanding, and raise awareness of information barriers within the carceral system. The Roundtable connects CUNY librarians with other librarian-led groups, such as Prison Library Support Network, that provide direct services to incarcerated people, and serves as a resource for CUNY groups such as the UFS Committee on Higher Education in the Prisons and those working in prison education programs. https://lacunysips.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

    Please join us for “Plotting Abolition” featuring a film screening of Calls From Home followed by a discussion of multi-scalar abolitionist struggles to close prisons and jails, stop the construction of cop cities, and build life-affirming infrastructures from Letcher County, Kentucky to New York City. Join the director of Calls from Home Sylvia Ryerson (Building Community Not Prisons Coalition) who will be in conversation with Craig Gilmore (California Prison Moratorium Project), Sarah Haley (author of No Mercy Here: Gender, Punishment, and the Making of Jim Crow Modernity), and Judah Schept (Critical Resistance Central Appalachia and author of Coal, Cages, Crisis: The Rise of the Prison Economy in Central Appalachia). The event is organized and will be moderated by Lucien Baskin (CUNY Graduate Center).
