Getting what we deserve?: imprisonment and the challenge of doing justice
Getting what we deserve?: imprisonment and the challenge of doing justice
In the 2024 Swarthmore Lecture, Ben explores the myth and reality in how society responds to serious crimes, charting the uses and abuses of retributive punishment, rehabilitative intervention, public protection, and calls for incremental or radical reform. Drawing on personal and professional experiences, Ben will invite Friends to reflect on where current prison conditions belong in the longer flow of Quaker witness on penal reform, and to ask: who (if anyone) gets what they deserve from the institutions we have?
