In this economics webinar, analyze the outcomes of the current state of the prison system and law and order beliefs in the U.S.
What are the costs and benefits of the current imprisonment model of America, and how can we move to a system that is more focused on rehabilitation and the development of human capital?
We will discuss how our current system is failing and how we might move to a more economically efficient, humane prison infrastructure. Also see how to weave creative lesson plans and learning activities into the discussion. Your students will relish the opportunity to analyze a relevant, current events topic and propose some opportunities for reform when it comes to mass incarceration.
