Following in the Footsteps of the Prophet Isaiah: Restorative Justice Talk 

"The Prison in Ancient History: Understanding the Past to Understand Today"

Please join us for a fascinating hour with Professor Mark Letteney of University of Washington's Department of History with an appointment in Jewish Studies as well. Connected to the haftorah from Isaiah, Professor Letteney will address how prisons are not an invention of modernity but have existed back into ancient times, with major shifts in how they have been used for punishment, rehabilitation, surveillance, and control. By understanding the past, we hope to shed new light on present day concerns. And we will leave you with ideas on ways you can get involved for a more equitable future.

About: Mark Letteney is an ancient historian and archaeologist, and assistant professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of Washington. Mark serves as a director on the excavation of the Roman 6th Legion army base at Legio, Israel, and is co-author of a forthcoming book on the history of incarceration in the ancient Mediterranean world.
