September 21: Labor-Based Deferred Action Training for Lawyers, Investigators and Community Advocates

In January 2023, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security created a new pathway to work authorization and temporary protection from deportation for workers involved in a labor dispute at their workplace. Through the new program, workers can now request deferred action after a labor investigation agency submits a Statement of Interest.

The purpose of the process is to promote fairness, safety, and a level playing field for all workers in the U.S. by strengthening labor agencies’ ability to enforce labor and employment standards.

The Binger Center for New Americans has partnered with The Advocates for Human Rights, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Minnesota Office of the Attorney General and the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry to convene lawyers, labor investigators and community advocates to learn more about labor-based deferred action. The training will include an overview of the deferred action process, an explanation of how each group plays a key role in the process and a chance to explore ways to collaborate to ensure eligible workers receive the support they need to apply.

December 7: Disrupting the Probation to Incarceration Pathway: Translating Research into Action

Although probation is intended to help people succeed in the community, the reality is that probation can also serve as a pathway to incarceration. In Confined and Costly, the Council of State Governments (CSG) estimated that 45% of prison admissions nationwide are due to violations of probation or parole. In Minnesota, CSG estimated that proportion may be as high as 60% and also found that people who are Black and Native American are overrepresented in Minnesota’s criminal system. Thus, probation can be a pathway to incarceration that impacts Black and Native American communities more harshly than other groups.

In 2019, the Robina Institute of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice and Ramsey County Community Corrections (RCCC) partnered together for the Reducing Revocations Challenge, a national project aimed at understanding the factors leading to probation violations and revocations. This webinar will detail the findings from the project as well as the recommendations developed by the project advisory committee for disrupting the probation to incarceration pathway in Ramsey County, Minnesota (located in the Twin Cities). This webinar will also describe the work currently underway to implement the recommendations, with a focus on how RCCC is working with its partners in the criminal legal system and members of the community to make systemwide changes with the goal of fostering greater success for people on probation.

September 23: Not Equivalent, But Better: Human Rights and Health Care Behind Bars in the Time of COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the lack of resources and oversight that hinders medical care for incarcerated people in the United States. 

The US Supreme Court has held that “deliberate indifference” to “serious medical needs” violates the Constitution. But this legal standard does not assure the consistent provision of health care services. This leads the United States to fall behind European nations that define universal standards of care grounded in principles of human rights and the ideal of equivalence that incarcerated and non-incarcerated people are entitled to the same health care.

Drawing on a normative analysis and empirical research, this talk describes an incremental strategy based on expanding Medicaid into correctional facilities and improving comprehensive oversight that would move closer to the normative ideal without resolving many of the thorny problems of correctional health care.
