The Diagnosis of Incarceration: The Health Impacts of Criminal System Involvement (Fall 2024 Speaker Series)

Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy

November 20 @ 4:30 pm - 5:45 pm

In June 2024, a group of experts in the field of criminal system health convened at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute to establish consensus around the central problems that produce or accentuate disparities in health equity for people subjected to criminalization and punishment. This Speaker Series, The Diagnosis of Incarceration, will build on that emerging consensus and continue to explore the nature and extent of health inequities in the system. Organized into three parts, this series will first define what the system of care looks like for people who cycle through the criminal legal system; then move through discussions around the implications and outcomes of this system; and finally, conclude with an examination of case studies and practical examples from people working to build a different future.

Join CHLPI Staff Attorney John Card and co-panelists Sanjay Kishore and Margaret Hayden of Equal Justice Initiative, and Mary Bassett of FXB Center for Health and Human Rights for a panel, “Justice on the Frontlines: Case Studies in the Delivery of Community Healthcare & the Potential of Medicaid 1115 Policy as a Practice Changing Tool”.

Date: Wednesday, November 20, 2024
Time: 4:30 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.
Venue: Virtual on Zoom

The Series is organized by the Malcom Wiener Center for Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.
