Build Programs Not Jails is getting ready for the influx of students back to town and the upcoming election and the possible ramifications on local government and priorities going forward. There will be an upcoming event to be announced that will address the direction the group will take in addressing the needs and challenges ahead. The tentative date for that will be September 8th. More on that as more information becomes available.
The next regular meeting of BPNJ will be on September 5th for those wanting to get involved in all of the planning and discussions for the group moving forward, especially as it pertains to the building programs to prevent reliance on criminal justice interventions and alternatives to mass incarceration.
A lot of what was covered was planning or organizing in progress so I don't have much to report this time around.
