When he brings up the prison industrial complex in class, Rowan University professor John Mills said, “probably 90 percent of them say ‘what is the prison industrial complex?’”
“I think it just hasn’t resonated with them,” Mills said. “Unless they’ve been touched by it personally, I don't know that they are really paying attention.”
Mills, the assistant director for the Multicultural and Inclusion Programs in the Office of Social Justice, Inclusion and Conflict Resolution at Rowan University, made it a goal to raise students’ awareness of the high level of incarceration in the U.S. through not just the group dialogues run by the Office of Social Justice, but also through a more unique approach.
