Panel includes Alice Green, PHD. & Executive Director of Albany's Center for Law and Justice. The Center recently released a report titled "What Have We Done? Mass Incarceration and the Targeting of Albany's Black Males by Federal, State and Local Authorities", which describes the alarming over representation of minorities in the Capital Region criminal and juvenile justice systems and examines the structural racism inherent in actions of local, state and federal officials who participated in the 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2012 arrest sweeps conducted in Albany.

Additional panelists include Derek Anderson and Cedrick Fulton, who spent 30 years and 17 years, respectively, in prison for drug related crimes. Both have recently been released and are eager to talk about their experiences before, during, and after incarceration. Moderated by Linda Mussmann. The discussion will be followed by a screening of "The House I Live In", a documentary analyzing the "War on Drugs" from the perspective of several different states.
