[Lwvcnmtopics] Thursday July 13th @ Noon | NM Prisons: Sentencing & Recidivism

[Patricia Lopez]

Thank you! I hope you all will join us for this important discussion next
week. Justin was formerly incarcerated for 17 years, and is a wealth of
knowledge on the injustices of our system from the inside out. Doug has
spent his career advocating for the people, and against abuses of power. I
can't wait to have this conversation and learn from them.
