From Cell Block to City Block; a Discussion on Prisons and Public Safety Feb. 5th

Dear Community,

You are invited to participate in a very important community dialogue about how Prisons affect Public Safety (a link made even clearer after the Mattapan Massacre and the Officer Maguire losing his life in Woburn).

In the past 3 years we have had 3 Commissioners leave the Department of Corrections which has been plagued by scandals and accusations of corruption. With the seat currently vacant, prison overcrowding, a record high in suicides and skyrocketing costs we will discuss the implementation of an independent Oversight Committee.

The meeting with feature a short multimedia presentation and various speakers.
