Zahid Mubarek Trust: Race in prisons: learning from the past, shaping the future
With apologies — last Friday’s Light Lunch email included the wrong date and link for this event. Please find the correct details below.
On the 25th anniversary of the racist murder of Zahid Mubarek by his cellmate in YOI Feltham, the Zahid Mubarek Trust is hosting a conference ‘Race in prisons: learning from the past, shaping the future’ [28 October, 09:00 - 17:00, London, Free - £54.88].
The conference will serve as both a memorial and a participatory call to action to urgently address the continuing racial disparities that are persisting in the prison system decades on from Zahid’s murder. The conference will feature a keynote address from Lord James Timpson OBE, Minister of State for Prisons, Probation and Reducing Reoffending, as well as senior prison leaders, policymakers, researchers, and people with lived experience. The ZMT will launch a Manifesto on Race Equality in Prisons, alongside a grassroots movement to drive accountability for racial disparities across the prison system.
They particularly welcome families of prisoners and people with lived experience of imprisonment to attend. Find out more here
