Attendees learn about the latest research on civil commitment programs and about activism that has sprung up to oppose it. These programs allow 22 states and the federal government to petition to indefinitely detain thousands of individuals convicted or accused of certain sexual offenses beyond their court‐ordered prison sentence. Sociologist Trevor Hoppe will first present findings from a landmark study surveying civil commitment which finds that these programs disproportionately impact men of color and gay men. Then Christian Doggett will describe inspiring efforts to oppose this draconian practice by the organization "OCEAN" developed by two men civilly committed within the Minnesota Sex Offender Program.
