Solitary Confinement in Oregon: A Community Listening Session & Poster Making Workshop
Join legal workers, criminal justice advocates and fellow community members for a critical conversation on incarceration and human rights.
Learn about solitary confinement, upcoming legislation from OJRC, and take in the experiences of those who have lived through this function of state sanctioned violence and are now advocating for its end. The BLACK Gallerys’ exhibit, Window into Solitary presented by Look2Justice, will be the host of this focused intervention.
Free to all, RSVP strongly encouraged.

Oregon Justice Resource Center
The Oregon Justice Resource Center was founded in 2011 by Bobbin Singh and Erin McKee. Our goal is to promote civil rights and improve legal representation for communities that have often been underserved in the past: people living in poverty and people of color among them. We work in collaboration with like-minded organizations to maximize our reach to serve underrepresented populations, to train future public interest lawyers, and to educate our community on issues related to civil rights and civil liberties.
