About This Event

The Hidden Cost of Incarceration: What families are forced to pay and how to fix it

The incarceration crisis extends far beyond prison and jail walls. Families with incarcerated loved ones face lost income, housing instability, and expenses that prevent them from climbing the economic ladder. Each year, those families lose or spend almost $350 billion for childcare, travel expenses, communication with loved ones, and other costs. Learn more about what drives these costs and how to mitigate them.

Based in Oakland, California, Felicity Rose is vice president of criminal justice research and policy at FWD.us. She joins us to share her research behind the organization's report We Can't Afford It: Mass Incarceration and the Family Tax.

Cocktail hour at 5:00 p.m. with medium/heavy apps and cash bar.

Program from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.

Blue Ribbon Hall at Best Place, Milwaukee. Parking is available in the garage across the street or on the street.
