How can a U.S. correctional facility adapt to more humane principals and methods? Can Scandinavian incarceration practices, values and theories work inside an American prison? And what will a U.S. adaptation of these practices look like? Join us to explore these questions and more on May 2 with a presentation of Prison Project: Little Scandinavia and a panel at Scandinavia House. The program will begin with a screening of the documentary, which explores the Little Scandinavia unit of SCI Chester in Pennsylvania, followed by a discussion with Gina Clark (Superintendent, SCI Chester, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections), Martin Gillå (Head of International Unit, Kriminalvården (Swedish Prison and Probation Service)), and Are Høidal (Senior Advisor and former Governor of Halden Prison, Kriminalomsorgen (Norwegian Correctional Service)), moderated by ASF Fellow Jordan Hyatt.
