The Impact of COVID-19 on Incarcerated and Returning Aging Citizens
Sponsored by the Jane Addams Center for Social Policy and Research (Jane Addams College of Social Work).
The aging population in our nation’s prisons and jails is projected to account for one-third of incarcerated people in the U.S., thus making the experiences of older incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals a growing area of concern for families, practitioners, policymakers, community-based organizations, activists, advocates, and researchers.
This community forum will provide an opportunity to identify the unique needs of and difficulties faced by older citizens as they reenter the community during the COVID 19 pandemic, and exchange views and ideas on what we can do to address these needs.
Directly impacted individuals and family members are especially welcome to attend.
There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
