Hello, all. This coming Sunday, we will talk about policy issues related to incarceration, and the way that this has disproporitonately affected African American communities and families. First, a slide show on incarceration in New Jersey. On this site, you need to scroll down the navigation bar on the right to find the New Jersey report: http://www.justicemapping.org/expertise
Please also read some of the information on the following website:
http://www.prisonersofthecensus.org/. Specifically, please read the information on the tab "The Problem." You may also want to take a look at parts of the "Importing Constitutents" report. (And note that you'll be jumping back and forth between websites of the Prison Policy Institute and the Prisoners of the Census project).
Also, for those of you who ar einterested in reading the National Research Council's report making recommendations for changing the rules of census enumeration, you can go to the following website: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11727. The .pdf file of the executive summary can be downloaded from the "Download Free" box. You can also read the complete report, but as far as I can tell you have to do that online.
Happy reading! And I'll see you on Sunday. Best - Amy
