The Librarian Who Spent Years Behind Bars
Glennor Shirley, Retired Librarian of the Maryland Correctional Education System
In this presentation, we will discuss the alarmingly high rate of
incarceration in the United States and in Maryland, as well as racial
discrimination resulting in incarceration. Next, we’ll dive into how
prison librarians encourage inmates to use their libraries in
preparation for successful re-entry.
Part of the "Prison State" lecture series - one-hour presentations by scholars, community organizers, and other experts addressing a variety of issues shaping the past, present, and future of incarceration.
Co-sponsored by the Department of American Studies; the Department of Gender, Women's, + Sexuality Studies; Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health; School of Social Work; Department of Psychology; Department of Political Science; Language, Literacy, and Culture Program; Department of Media and Communication Studies; the Dresher Center for the Humanities; the Center for Social Science Scholarship; and the Graduate School.
