E-Mail Print

Civil rights organizations today are holding a summit on prison inmate recidivism and re-entry on the Modesto Junior College West Campus.

The two-day NAACP Black-Brown Summit on Re-entry features lectures and workshops aimed at preparing the state for the release of some 40,000 prison inmates who could leave their cells early because of a federal court order aimed at reducing California's prison population.

Matt Cate, secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, is today's keynote speaker. He is expected to speak from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.
