Community Roundtable - presentation and discussion “Is There Another Way?  Rethinking Crime, Punishment, and Redemption” What if the way we respond to crime is actually making it worse? 

In this presentation, Dr. Jessica Corey, a criminal justice professor at NMSU, draws on her experience in correctional mental health, including clinical work in solitary confinement units. She examines the limits of punishment - particularly retribution - and why it so often falls short as an effective response to crime. The session also explores evidence-based approaches that promote rehabilitation, healing, meaningful change, and long-term public safety.  

All are welcome!
