Description
Criminal justice reform is on the rise with many leaving out the impact of trauma and its effects on addiction and mass incarceration. This presentation aims to address the high rate of mass incarceration of African American male drug offenders while addressing the possible root of the issue: trauma. Treating Black males through trauma reformed care could very well prevent recidivism and the continued mass incarceration of African American males.
