About this Event

Despite making up 5% of the global population, the US has more than 20% of the world’s Pr*son population. The country also spends over $80 billion on incarceration each year. But what about life after incarceration? Does society believe that someone who has spent time in Pr*son deserves the chance to be fully re-integrated into society and allowed to work and thrive? What are the barriers? Can we do more to aid their success?

Join us for the next Sound of Ideas Community Tour as we discuss the realities facing the formerly incarcerated as they re-enter society.

The "Sound of Ideas" is Ideastream Public Media's weekday morning news and information program focusing on Northeast Ohio.

This tour stop is a part of The Cleveland Orchestra's 2025 Mandel Opera & Humanities Festival: Reconciliation.
