Beyond The Bars LA
2023-11-03 - 2023-11-04
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!

You are invited to attend our PEP Winter Orientation! Before courses and programs begin inside correctional facilities, UCLA students, faculty, and incarcerated students are required to participate in a quarterly prison education orientation (only for the quarter they are taking a class or teaching a class). In addition to reviewing policy and expectations, each orientation is organized and facilitated in collaboration with formerly incarcerated and justice system-impacted students and community members, and structured around critical issues developed by incarcerated women and youth. Incarcerated students are provided with an orientation as well – usually a couple of days before the on-campus orientation.
