About the event

Faculty Roundtable: Incarceration in the U.S.
Join a group of Fairfield University faculty to discuss perspectives on the issues surrounding incarceration in the U.S.

About this Event

A group of Fairfield University professors and formerly incarcerated individuals will share their unique perspectives – disciplinary and personal – on the issues surrounding incarceration in the United States. This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Stitching Time: Social Justice Collaboration Quilts Project and Give Me Life: CPA Pr*son Arts Program (Walsh Gallery, September 12 - December 13, 2025).

Panelists include Don Sawyer, PhD (VP of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging); Gregg Caruso, PhD (Director, Waide Center for Applied Ethics); Sonya Huber (Professor, English Creative Writing), and Kevin O’Brien, S.J. (Vice Provost, Executive Director, Fairfield Bellarmine).

About the Exhibition: Stitching Time features 12 quilts created by men who are incarcerated in the Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola Pr*son. These works of art, and accompanying recorded interviews, tell the story of a unique inside-outside quilt collaboration. The exhibition focuses our attention on the quilt creators, people often forgotten by society when discussing the history of the U.S. criminal justice system. Also on view in the gallery will be Give Me Life, a selection of works from women artists presently or formerly incarcerated at York Correctional Institution, a maximum security state Pr*son in Niantic, CT, courtesy of Community Partners in Action (CPA). The CPA’s Pr*son Arts program was initiated in 1978 and is one of the longest-running projects of its kind in the United States. Founded in 1875, CPA is celebrating 150 years of working within the criminal justice system. For more information, click here.
