Endless, Excessive and Inhumane: Solitary Confinement in U.S. Immigration Detention
Fri, April 12th, 1-5 pm
Gutman Conference Center, HGSE
Legal scholars, immigrant rights advocates, and health professionals have been calling for the end of solitary confinement in immigration detention for more than a decade. But the use of this inhumane treatment has only increased. In a recently published report, researchers from Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, and Physicians for Human Rights exposed the expansion of this practice in U.S. immigration detention through evaluation of litigated FOIA data and interviews with formerly detained immigrants who experienced solitary confinement.
SBS DIB Film Screening: Conscience Point
Tues, April 16, 1 pm – 2:30 pm
Kresge 201 or Zoom
All HSPH staff, faculty, and students are invited to join the SBS Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Committee in collaboration with the FXB Center for Health & Human Rights for a hybrid screening of the documentary Conscience Point. Participants are welcome to join for all or part of the screening and will have the opportunity to interactively engage with the film content in real-time by responding to reflection questions. Conscience Point tracks the fractured history of one of the wealthiest zip codes in the U.S.: the Hamptons, where the Shinnecock Indian Nation were edged off their land over the course of hundreds of years, pushed onto an impoverished reservation, and condemned to watch their sacred burial grounds destroyed to make way for residential and commercial development.
Lunch will be provided for in-person participants.
