Event Description

Screening and Discussion: Philly DA, Episode Four and “Mass Supervision and the ‘Shadow Carceral State’”

Profs. Anil Kalhan and Tracy Tripp ’10 invite students, faculty, and staff members to join a screening and discussion in connection with this semester’s Criminal Legal System Reform event series. On Thursday, October 6, at 6pm, we will screen and discuss Episode Four of the eight-part documentary series, Philly D.A. In this episode, “activist LaTonya Myers lands her dream job just as she’s beginning a 10-year probation sentence. Any slip-up could send her back to prison. While Myers petitions the court for freedom for herself and thousands more, the D.A.’s team pursues systemic probation reform, facing off against judges who embrace extended supervision.” A discussion will follow the screening.

All Drexel community members, especially first-year students, are encouraged to attend. The documentary series explores the possibilities and limitations of the role that prosecutors can play in pursuit of broader criminal legal system reforms—and prominently features two Drexel alumni who have worked in senior positions with Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. While the episodes are presented as a series, different episodes emphasize distinct themes and can stand alone without watching all of them, so we encourage interested community members to attend individual screenings that may be of interest even if you are unable to attend the entire series over the course of the semester.

If you have questions, or are interested in receiving regular updates about the event schedule and suggested reading materials for specific topics addressed in the series, please email Siqi Cheng (sc3945@drexel.edu) and she will make sure you are added to our email distribution list.
