NAHANT HARBOR REVIEW • MARCH 2010 • Page 3Nahant Woman’s Club Potluck Supper and MoreSubmitted by Marrit HastingsThe Nahant Woman’s Club will hold a potluck supper on Tuesday, March 9th, at6:30 p.m., at the Nahant Village Church. The speaker will be Rev. Dr. Kaia Stern ofHarvard Law School, whose topic will be “Women in Prison.” She is the Director of thePrison Studies Project/Pathways Home at the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute forRace and Justice, at Harvard Law School. Her work focuses on mass incarceration,transformative justice and education in prison. She is an interfaith minister and has animpressive background.In Rev. Dr. Stern’s view, there is no more pressing human rights issue, or threat todemocracy, than the current penal crisis. In the past three decades, the number of womenin U.S. prisons has grown by more than 800 percent. The vast majority of these womenhave been victims of domestic violence and never committed a violent crime. Nearlytwo-thirds are mothers. All too often, the men, women and children who land in prisonhave been failed by the social institutions, that are meant to serve them.Rev. Dr. Stern will give an overview of the human and economic interconnectionsbetween devastating opportunity gaps and the crisis of mass incarceration. She also willdiscuss the manifold benefits to the individual and community that can result fromproviding education behind bars.All members should bring a favorite dish, to share and bring one, or more, friends.The hostesses will be Polly Anderson and Mary Ellen Schumann. Becky Richardson willgive the invocation.Girls Inc. LuncheonAnother upcoming event is the Girls Inc. fundraising luncheon, to be held onThursday, April 15th, at the Danversport Yacht Club.
