Piper Kerman’s bestselling memoir Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison chronicles her “crucible experience”—the 13 months she spent in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut after a brief involvement with drug trafficking. Since her release, Kerman has worked tirelessly to promote the cause of prison and criminal justice reform. Her work also raises provocative questions about the state of criminal justice in America, and how incarceration affects individuals and communities throughout the nation.  A resource fair following the event will highlight reform work being done in Cleveland and how you can get involved in the movement. Tickets: $30/General Admission – $10/Students.
