Guest speaker: Brenden Beck, Milk Not Jails
Brenden Beck is an organizer with “Milk Not Jails” campaign. He also writes a lot about this venture in the New York Times and other public sources. Essentially, this venture is concerned with reducing the number of people, especially juveniles and socially vulnerable people, who are being sent to jail in order to fuel the New York State economy. I have learned that while most of those incarcerated are from urban areas, most jails are built in rural areas, where there are also farms. Since NYS produces about 30% of the milk in the country, Beck and the members of his venture are advocating increase in support for development of dairy farms and propagation of dairy products and closing down of jail cells, which have long been the economic backbones for many rural regions in NYS. This is the meaning of “Milk Not Jails.”
