Impact NY is researching and preparing with experts to host a debate on how we should reinvent our prisons and corrections system for our current age. Impact Prisons is a six-month project dedicated to educating the public on the United States Prison System and Criminal Justice Reform and supporting intelligent and hopefully transformative improvements. The project will culminate with a public event to be held in New York City with top Experts in the fields of Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement, and Neuroscience. In partnership with Columbia University's Tamer Center for Social Enterprise and Harvard's Economic's Department. Our aim is to provide a balanced, logic driven debate, on the future of this critical issue to help inform our community and get beyond the next leaders in this critical social issue.
