Remember Those in Prison: A Session with Malcolm Carter

Abstract

ABSTRACT African Americans are incarcerated at an exponentially higher rate than any other racial group [Wacquant, Loic. “Deadly Symbiosis: Rethinking Race and Imprisonment in Twenty-First Century America.” Boston Review 27, no. 1 (2002): 23–31]. Malcolm Carter, who was formerly incarcerated, shared about his journey and offered hope at the 2018 Coloring Mental Health Collective Conference in Chicago, Illinois. The session engages the constructs of systemic injustice that contributes to recidivism among this population.
