Tuesday, May 10, 12noon, this on-line event requires advance registration

Convictions, incarceration, fines, and supervision are purposed to deter criminal activity using fear as a motivator to avoid the loss of freedom. The State of Ohio’s criminal justice system serves nearly 330,000 residents who are either under supervision or are incarcerated, with 1 in 3 returning to prison within three years of release. This workshop will review how Ohio laws criminalize HIV nondisclosure and how fear increases high-risk behaviors and stigma and perpetuates silence increasing HIV cases. We will identify advocacy areas to promote safety and support.
