A Conversation with Former Governor of Oregon Kate Brown on Mass Incarceration

Governor Kate Brown granted more commutations or pardons than all of Oregon’s governors over the last 50 years combined. Before her election as Oregon's governor, Brown worked as a lawyer representing families and children in the foster care system and those who violated their parole, and has stated that “We are a nation of second chances.” Please join the Institute of Politics for a moderated discussion with the former Governor of Oregon and IOP Visiting Fellow Kate Brown on mass incarceration.

This event is co-sponsored by the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management at the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy at Harvard Kennedy School.
