The Human Cost of the Prison Industrial Complex

Wow,   What a forum! Family & Friends of Incarcerated People (FFOIP) along with our many co-sponsoring organizations thank you for attending our forum The Human Cost of the  Prison Industrial Complex (PIC). Your attendance was as important to the success of the educational forum as the panelist and the great effort that went into bringing part II of FFOIP’s first focus together. So, once more we thank you. The Ideas expressed were so valid and varied that it is difficult to point to what might have been the strongest message coming out of this forum. However, the wrenching story of Markia Smith was so profoundly saddening it lingered in the air setting a somber tone for why we should be fighting  mass incarceration, the Prison Industrial Complex, the disparities in sentencing, and the school to prison pipeline as well as pathways to prison!

In the future FFOIP plans to host more educational forums. We will be looking to those of you who came out and took part in this first two part event to point us in the direction that these forums should be going. We do intend to address as many prison issues as we are able.  So we invite you to join us in this effort to bring about social justice change!

 We ask that you keep in touch and share what you learn with us. Just log onto our web page www.FFOIP.org or Facebook fan page and like the fan page and leave us a comment?
