Justice Education Project x Incarceration to College: Incarcerated Youth as Civic Authors – Webinar
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Event Navigation
A culminating webinar showcasing long-form civic essays written by incarcerated youth at the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center. Over the past several months, youth at the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center have developed long-form essays exploring the juvenile justice system, their personal experiences, and their own definitions of incarceration and abolition. Through a collaboration between the Justice Education Project and UC Berkeley’s Incarceration to College Program, youth worked one-on-one with Berkeley Law Professor Jonathan Simon — producing not workshop reflections, but authored civic arguments with something meaningful to say. This event is brought to you by the Criminal Law & Justice Center, the Justice Education Project, and the Incarceration to College program.
Featuring:
• Nicholas E. Stewart — Executive Director, Justice Education Project
• Jonathan Simon — Lance Robbins Professor of Criminal Justice Law, Berkeley Law
• Shani Shay, M.Ed. — Director, Incarceration to College Program, UC Berkeley
