Human Rights First, in collaboration with Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, is hosting a free all day event called “Dialogues on Detention: Applying Lessons from Criminal Justice Reform to the Immigration Detention System” on Friday October 12th. The event will feature in-depth discussions on gaps in legal representation, alternatives to detention, conditions of detention, litigation and other approaches – as part of an examination of whether there are lessons that can be learned from criminal justice reform and applied to the immigration detention system.
Speakers at the event include: Dora Schriro, former director of the Arizona Department of Corrections; Lindsay Marshall, Executive Director, Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project; Arizona State Representative John Kavanagh (R-8); Dodie Ledbetter, detention services director at Pima County Juvenile Detention Center; and Andy Silverman, Joseph M. Livermore Professor of Law and Director of Clinical Programs, University of Arizona James E. Rodgers College of Law.
