Panel: Students should take action against mass incarceration
By Kelly Ward | Nov. 4, 2016Two UW-Madison Law School student organizations encouraged attendees to take action against mass incarceration at a panel Thursday. The National Lawyers Guild and the Black Law Student Association chose the theme of mass incarceration for their “Take Action” panel because it is a permanent issue in the state of Wisconsin and permeates many different types of law, according to a BLSA representative. “[The panel] gave students a chance to come out to the Law School and have a conversation about mass incarceration and have an open dialogue about the issues,” said UW-Madison junior Nehemiah Siyoum.
