Last week, Auditor McGuirk and staff attended the Window into Solitary community listening session event. The photos in the post are from April 18, where community members learned about the issues of solitary confinement in the state of Oregon. The panel included Grant Hartley (Multnomah County Director, Metropolitan Public Defender), Ben Haile (Senior Council, Oregon Justice Resource Center), Mark Wilson (Paralegal, Oregon Justice Resource Center), Chris Lambert (Regional Director, Oregon Justice Network; also affiliated with Rose City Jam), and Chris Blackwell (organizer of Window Into Solitary Confinement exhibit).
