Description

Today, it is predicted that nationwide one in three black males and one in six Hispanic males will be incarcerated in their lifetime. 

We have come to accept this as natural. 

But why doesn’t our faith lead us to question this… or do something to change it?

Join us as together with Dominique Gilliard, we explore the history and foundation of mass incarceration, examining Christianity’s role in its evolution and expansion.

Dominique assesses our nation’s ethic of meritocratic justice in light of Scripture, exposes the theologies that embolden mass incarceration, and then begins to point us how Christians can pursue justice that restores and reconciles.
