Democracy for All Week: Freedom of Expression

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 to Sunday, September 21, 2025

This Constitution Day—and all week long—we celebrate and reflect on the role of the First Amendment in securing freedom and liberty for all. But does that include people who are incarcerated? Together, we’ll examine how freedom of expression is limited and fought for in the American criminal justice system and the role of natural rights in an incarcerated facility. What limits are in place in different states? Are they fair and just? How have journalism and art played powerful roles in preserving human dignity? Join us for a full week of special programming exploring prison journalism, art, and free expression for those who are not free.
