The 8th Amendment: Cruel & Unusual Punishment | Hosted by Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site

This Constitution Day, Amy Fettig (legal analyst, former Deputy Director of the ‪@ACLU‬'s National Prison Project, and former Executive Director of ‪@thesentencingproject‬) and Professor Kermit Roosevelt III (author of The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America's Story) used the Eighth Amendment as a framework to examine the history of crime and punishment in America as well as contemporary issues in criminal justice reform. This discussion was moderated by Dr. Kerry Sautner, President and CEO of Eastern State Penitentiary. This webinar marks the first in series of virtual justice education talks hosted by Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site in Philadelphia, PA. To learn more about the United States' criminal justice system of the past and present, plan your visit to Eastern State today at www.EasternState.org. Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world's first true "penitentiary," a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of prisoners. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells held nearly 85,000 people over its long history, including bank robber "Slick Willie" Sutton and "Scarface" Al Capone. Today, Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site interprets the legacy of American criminal justice reform, from the nation’s founding through to the present day, within the long-abandoned cellblocks of the nation’s most historic prison. #ConstitutionDay #JusticeEd #EstablishJustice #Philadelphia #EasternStatePenitentiary
