Unitarian Universalist Fellowship program

Ebony Speakes-Hall of the Ohio ACLU will explain how Ohio’s legislators of both parties introduce laws that create new crimes or extend the scope of existing laws to lengthen sentences. This practice of ceaselessly inventing new crimes and longer sentences causes the tide of imprisonment to rise. Also the profits of business interests are a motivator for jailing Ohio citizens for long terms.
