Tribal Forum: A Talking Circle on Tribal Justice and Reentry
Go Back

SESSION INFO

Sunday, February 5, 2023
12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
This forum will engage attendees in an active discussion in a Talking Circle to identify the pressing issues in Tribal Justice as it relates to reentry. The Tribal Justice issues facing many Tribal communities and more specifically Tribal Probation and Parole have been discussed in many forums for many years. Unfortunately, those involved in those discussions may not always be directly involved in the operations of Tribal Probation and Parole programs around the country. This Forum will seek to not only identify the issues Tribal Probation and Parole programs are facing, but to also work to develop practical solutions to these issues. The best solutions to the issues in Tribal Probation come from those directly involved in the daily operations of these programs. Join us to help improve outcomes in our communities by contributing to this vital discussion
