Why did we do it?
This website was created as part of a assignment from the course:
Butler University GHS210 - Freedom and Movement in the Transatlantic World
Butler University GHS210 - Freedom and Movement in the Transatlantic World
Why this topic?
We felt this topic was the best choice for us because we were looking or a topic that had severe implications in modern society as well as one that related back to the transatlantic. As the prison system (At least in some countries) seems to be the modern extension to slavery, we felt we should look into the statistics concerning those who are incarcerated and their struggles. We further expanded this topic to include the concept of reintegration because of the high rate of recurrence among convicted. To finish it off, we decided to research personal stories of those who have been somehow involved in the prison system in an unfair manner as a result of their social group to give readers a better insight into what the experience of the prison system is like on a more personal level and why it needs to change.
