SUMMARY:Alternatives to Incarceration in Latin America and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Drug laws and the region’s untenable prison crisis are at the center of the drug policy debate in Latin America and the Caribbean. The incarceration of low-level drug offenders for exceptionally long sentences has left the region’s prisons bursting at the seams; the impact is not only felt by those incarcerated\, but also by their families and communities. Cutting edge research by the Colectivo de Estudios Drogas y Derecho (Research Consortium on Drugs and the Law\, CEDD) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) sheds new light on the problem and efforts to address it through alternatives to incarceration. \nThe latest investigation carried out by CEDD\, which brings together researchers from 9 Latin American countries\, shows that despite the lively debate taking place across the region\, the number of people incarcerated for drug offenses continues to grow. The SSRC’s Drugs\, Security and Democracy (DSD) Program is carrying out an investigation on drug courts in Latin America and the Caribbean. The research to date offers an analysis and critique of drug courts as a public policy option that is increasingly under consideration by Latin American and Caribbean countries\, and the lessons to be learned from the U.S. experience. The session will conclude with a discussion of other alternatives to incarceration\, including measures taken prior to the initiation of a criminal proceeding.

SUMMARY:Sowing Resolution: The Case for Reparations in Action
DESCRIPTION:What is the true impact of racial slavery in the United States today? Newly available archival sources and new technological methods create unprecedented possibilities for understanding America’s past\, especially as it pertains to racial and ethnic groups that have been systematically excluded from traditional social and historical analyses. In 1838\, Georgetown College (now University) sold more than 272 enslaved people (the GU272) “down river” to secure its financial health. The Georgetown Slavery Archive is beginning to bring to light\, in unprecedented detail\, how an entire community was transformed by slavery. \n\nAs a national conversation about reparations takes root\, the Social Science Research Council and Brooklyn Historical Society gathered a panel of experts to discuss how the legacy of slavery might be confronted and repaired\, and to explore one concrete example happening today. What is owed to these descendants\, and how has Georgetown made amends? \nNew York University journalism professor and New York Times contributing writer Rachel Swarns moderated a conversation with Adam Rothman\, Georgetown University historian and principal curator of the Georgetown Slavery Archive; Mélisande Short-Colomb\, student activist at Georgetown University and descendant of the GU272; and Katherine Franke\, author of Repair: Redeeming the Promise of Abolition and Sulzbacher Professor of Law\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Columbia University. \nWith support from the Ford Foundation. This program is presented as part of the Social Science Research Council’s Inequality Initiative\, a series of programs and projects that bring innovative social science analysis to bear on our understanding of the roots and consequences of unequal participation in political\, economic\, and social systems across the globe.
