The Center for Justice at UCLA presents a collaboration between the Bruin Underground Scholars (BUS) and the UCLA Prison Education Program (PEP).

BEYOND THE BARS LA  — our third biannual national conference — will take place on Friday and Saturday, November 3-4, 2023 at UCLA. The BTB LA team is an inspired group of system-impacted students, scholars, advocates, and activists involved in the international decarceration movement. This conference will center interdisciplinary approaches to prison education, abolition, and decarceration as decolonization. The conference will include a series of dynamic presentations from justice-centered organizations, artists, activists, advocates and academics from across the country.

This event is free and open to all those who RSVP. Join us for food, fellowship, empowerment and more!
