Hosted by the Columbia Justice Lab, this daylong conference is organized in conjunction with Executives Transforming Probation and Parole (EXiT), a network of over 70 current and former heads of probation and parole agencies who are calling for supervision to be smaller, less punitive, and more hopeful, equitable, and restorative.
The conference will explore the need for transformative approaches to probation and parole reform and promising examples of and opportunities for leadership toward smaller, less punitive, and more hopeful supervision systems.
We are excited to have you in attendance, where you will be joined by a large and diverse group of presenters and attendees including EXiT members, community leaders, criminal justice practitioners, artists, elected officials, and researchers.
