Welcome to Justice 101, a new series brought to you by the Center for Justice Education at Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site where we examine the history of the justice system in America from its founding to today and the impact it has on our society, citizens, and world.
Once a month, we invite special guests to foster dialogue about a different topic in criminal justice. Justice 101 programs take place virtually via Zoom, and each is 45 minutes long (30-minute program plus 15-minute Q&A). You can join us live at the times listed, or watch the programs back anytime on YouTube.
Justice 101 will be taking a summer break! Keep an eye out for the announcement of our fall programming – coming soon. Sign up for our newsletter below to be the first to know about upcoming programs.
