JOIN US FOR A VIRTUAL EVENT ABOUT “TECHNICAL PAROLE VIOLATIONS” AND MASS INCARCERATION

 

Tens of thousands of people are sent back to prison each year not because they have committed new crimes, but because they have committed “technical violations” while on parole.

How is this adding to mass incarceration and what does this mean during a pandemic?

Join our speakers with lived experience, advocacy know-how, and legal expertise as we tackle the problems and solutions in the age of COVID.

SEPTEMBER 17, 5-7pm

BINJ not only produces longform investigative stories that it syndicates for free to community news outlets around Massachusetts but also works with dozens of emerging journalists each year to help them learn their trade while providing quality reporting to the public at large.

Now in its 10th year, BINJ has produced hundreds of hard-hitting news articles—many of which have taken critical looks at corporations, government, and major nonprofits, shedding light where it’s needed most.

BINJ punches far above its weight on an undersized budget—managing to remain a player in local news through difficult times for journalism even as it continues to provide leadership at the regional and national levels of the nonprofit news industry.

With your help BINJ can grow to become a more stable operation for the long term and continue to provide Bay State residents more quality journalism for years to come.

Or you can send us a check at the following address:
