Criminal Justice Caucus- Columbia School of Social Work

We seeks to bring transformative change on issues that relate to the criminal justice and prison systems in America through lectures, forums, panels, etc!

Our goals are:

To support and provide education and tools for all students and to bolster clinical and advocacy skills that can benefit people impacted by the systems and programs that serve this population. To strive to link the community of New York City residents especially those with experience or ties to the criminal justice system to the information and resources our school and this caucus

can provide. To further the movement of consciousness of the criminal justice system and inspire transformative action.

Labels carry stigmas and stereotypes. They allow us to acknowledge social, cultural, or physical differences between one another. Labels also inadvertently influence our perceptions of one another depending on the social significance of the label that is attributed to a person. .
The Center for Justice in partnership with The Confined Arts presents From the Inside Out: The Power of Language to Incarcerate, a one-day justice conference in New York City that will meet and resist linguistic methods of dehumanization, which foster implicit and explicit biases about people in the criminal justice system.
