Rutgers will be holding an in person symposium on April 17, 2026 - No Exit: Challenging 'Civil' Commitment and Indefinite Confinement of People Convicted of Sex Crimes
"This one-day, in-person interdisciplinary symposium will bring together social scientists, legal scholars, mental health practitioners, lawyers,
organizers, and community members to critically examine the civil commitment process. The symposium seeks to interrogate the legal frameworks,
structural inequities, institutional practices, and lived realities of civil commitment systems and explore strategies for accountability, reform, and
abolition."
