The Criminal Justice Speaker Series is a vibrant component of the MS in Criminal Justice graduate program. The speaker series brings individuals working at the cutting edge of criminal justice issues to George Mason. All members of the Criminology, Law and Society Department are invited to attend.

We are very excited to announce a talk by Kemba Smith Pradia, criminal justice reform advocate and founder of The Kemba Smith Foundation.

Kemba Smith Pradia, granted clemency by President Clinton in 2000, is a criminal justice reform advocate. She has served on the Virginia Parole Board and Criminal Sentencing Commission and now works nationwide as a speaker, author, consultant, and executive producer of KEMBA, educating communities—especially women and families—on the impact of mass incarceration.
