Professor Amy Green Directs a Powerful Play on Criminal Justice

"Mass incarceration, solitary confinement, maximum penalties, domestic violence, and sexual assault—these topics are regularly analyzed, discussed and contemplated at John Jay. But to really feel the impact of the criminal justice system in America, Associate Professor Amy S. Green in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies worked for three years developing and then directing the play whatdoesfreemean?, which recently finished showing at Nora’s Playhouse in Manhattan. To learn more about the play, her process and her hopes for change, we sat down and chatted with professor Green.  "
