We’re on our way back to Honolulu today after several days in Hartford, CT. Meda was a keynote speaker at a conference on women and girl offenders.

Since 2003, the Association on Programs for Female Offenders (APFO), an American Correctional Association affiliate, has co-sponsored AJFO conferences. The AJFO Conference is held biannually with APFO selecting a different state and a representative organization(s) from that state. The host state and APFO appoint a national steering committee to assist in the conference planning. For 2015, APFO selected Connecticut and The Connecticut Women’s Consortium (CWC) to host the conference. The Connecticut Women’s Consortium received the support of Connecticut’s Department of Correction, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Department of Children and Families, Department of Public Health, and Court Support Services Division for their application.

We had a brief bit of time to walk around downtown Hartford. These are a few photos of what we saw.
