Note
Dr Van Heerden attended the conference entitled "Critical Resistance: Beyond the Prison Industrial Complex" held in Berkeley, California, in September 1998 and visited individuals and organisations involved in prison programmes. The aim of the conference was to bring together presenters and participants to examine the contemporary prison crisis in the United Sates and to develop strategies to contest the growing reliance in imprisonment as an ineffectual solution to systemic social problems.
