The Sentence

Join us for a screening of the HBO documentary, The Sentence, and a conversation with the director, Rudy Valdez. The Sentence exams the consequences of mandatory minimum sentencing through the story of Cindy Shank -- the sister of Rudy Valdez and a mother of three -- who received a 15-year mandatory sentence for conspiracy charges related to her deceased ex-boyfriend’s crimes.

The event is co-sponsored by the School of Communication and Media, the Department of Justice Studies and the MSU Petey Greene Program.
