You are invited to join us for the screening of the PBS documentary "Prison State" followed by a 1-hour discussion moderated by Laura Conover and Megan Page
Prison State - There are roughly 2.3 million people behind bars in the U.S., with a disproportionate number coming from a few city neighborhoods. More than two years in the making, Prison State takes an intimate look at the cycle of mass incarceration in America, and one state’s effort to reverse the trend. The documentary follows four residents of a housing project in Louisville, Kentucky, as the cycle in and out of the State’s jails and prisons.

Pima County Attorney's Office
Laura Conover, Pima County Attorney, has a unique perspective on Southern Arizona’s criminal justice system. She was first elected as the Pima County Attorney in 2020 and re-elected to a second term last year. As the third woman to hold the Office, second defense attorney, and first victims’ rights attorney, she has assembled a diverse senior leadership team to continue revolutionizing operations.
Reform, transparency, and accountability are Laura’s core objectives. She continues to educate the legislature on cash bail, has put an end to capital punishment in the County, responsibly diverts cases of substance use disorder and mental illness to treatment, and keeps children out of the adult system. She is fortifying units in Conviction & Sentencing Integrity and Fraud & Consumer Protection to safeguard against unethical and exploitative behaviors. Her team built the only adult restorative justice program in the State and invented a victim text notification system to better serve victim's rights. Her first in the nation agreements to specially deputize tribal O'odham and Yaqui prosecutors have improved access to justice.
Laura was raised in Tucson and earned her undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Arizona and is proud to serve the community she calls home.
