[Peace] Sat Oct 12, 7pm speaker talking about Norway's prisons as an alternative to U.S. prisons

[Karen Medina]

Here is the flyer for the event (I forgot to attach it).

I will have to go look for the description of the bailout coalition, and it
might be quite large, so I will send that separately.
