Detention Watch Network’s report, Communities Not Cages: A Just Transition from Immigration Detention Economies examines the role of immigration detention in local economies and outlines a vision for a just transition away from economies dependent on detention centers. Join us Monday, May 17th at 1pm ET, 10am PT for an online conversation to discuss our vision with the report’s author and on-the-ground organizers working to close immigration detention centers, organizers who have run jail closure and repurposing campaigns in the criminal punishment context, and national experts on criminal punishment trends and prison closures.
