Aging Behind the Walls: A Conversation on Incarcerated Older Adults

Join us this April for Conversations on Aging as we welcome Jenn Wayne, a current UMass Management of Aging Services student, for a thoughtful and important discussion on aging among incarcerated individuals, a topic that challenges us to think deeply about justice, dignity, care, and the unique needs of older adults in correctional settings.

As the population ages across all systems, correctional facilities are increasingly grappling with complex health, social, and ethical questions related to older adults. This conversation will explore what aging looks like behind the walls, what supports are needed, and how leaders in aging services can approach this issue through a lens of compassion, equity, and person-centered care. Come join us for what promises to be a meaningful and eye-opening conversation.
