S.T.O.P.- a local organization in the Electronic Frontier Alliance, (not EFF) will host this event:

S.T.O.P. x RadTech: Carceral Technologies & Imprisonment Remarketed

From the Organizers:

This session, we'll examine the ways that technology recreates carceral systems beyond the borders of jails and prisons. These technologies include ankle shackles monitoring location and blood alcohol content, voice verification, and facial recognition check-ins. Often marketed as bold reforms, these technologies are violent replacements for incarceration in the criminal and immigration detention contexts. Our speakers will outline key corporate and government players in "alternatives to incarceration," the impacts these systems have on people, and the movements to stop them.

We'll be joined by James Kilgore, Bianca Tylek, as well as impacted community members to discuss their personal experiences with electronic monitoring and why we cannot accept these tools as "alternatives" to detention.

When:

Tuesday, May 18
