On the Road to Prison Abolition: Challenging the Bail System with Faith

The United States today makes up 5 percent of the world’s total population, but it has 21 percent of prisoners around the world. Prisons have been on the rise in the United States for decades, and Black and Muslim communities have been disproportionately impacted. Join the Markaz for a discussion of the effects of prison systems on the incarcerated, bail reform, and how Stanford students can advocate for and move towards prison abolition. We will be joined by Believers Bail Out, a Muslim organization supporting incarcerated folks and their families through education campaigns, community events, and bailing out incarcerated Muslims. 4 p.m. June 3 PT.
