Join us virtually to explore prisons: myths or reality? 

Do we really need more prisons? Are prisons really as cushy or dramatic as documentaries show? Are people in prison all dangerous and evil? This talk will look into the reality of those people living behind bars before exploring criminology degrees at the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú.
