Join Metro State University and the Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center at Mitchell Hamline School of Law for the eighth annual forum on Understanding and Responding to Mass Incarceration (URMI) as we seek to understand and evaluate community and legislative responses to sexual violence, with a special focus on the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP), a little-known civil commitment program through which 740 people in Minnesota are currently confined—AFTER serving their prison sentences—with very little hope of release. URMI 2022 will break from simplified media narratives of the “sex offender” to ask: how can communities reinvest in restorative justice and primary prevention to address root causes of sexual violence, and also transform our current ineffective system of prevention?
