Mass Incarceration & PubHealth

In this course, we will examine the U.S. system of mass incarceration at the intersection of extreme rates of imprisonment; civil, health, and human rights violations; legalized discrimination; and privatization of corrections-related industries and services. Our primary goal will be to unpack and interrogate two orienting questions: What are the social structural conditions that create and maintain mass incarceration? What is the role of public health to understand, examine, and respond to mass incarceration?
