of the messiness of this industry that I've been a part of for the past 40

years and that does a lot of good.”

newspaper and ended up as the director of the Walters Art Gallery--a gem of an art museum in Baltimore,

the United States, including Maryland has seen a growing prison

population. Part of the issue is our emphasis on long sentences, but

the other part is our unwillingness to “unblock the exit” and create a

system of reentry. This has caused an aging population to remain

incarcerated when they pose little to no threat to public safety,

costing millions. In this session, you will learn what successful

reentry looks like and how Maryland can save millions by re-thinking

its priorities.

Description:

Continue the world voyage to see towering Maoi monolithic human

figures on Rapa Nui, Peru, better known as Easter Island. Enjoy

Polynesian hosts in Papeete, Tahiti and Pago Pago, American

Samoa, before sailing to Australia. As we sailed under the Sydney

Harbor bridge, we saw the world renown architecture of the Sydney

Opera House. Another land trip took me to Uluru in the Northern

territory where I learned about the Aboriginal people, herds of

camels, and life on the stations. On to Indonesia with colorful fabrics

and wonderful smiling natives and awful looking Komodo Dragons!

Hong Kong was vibrant and exciting. A third land trip took me to Siem

Reap, Cambodia

with the mystical art and architecture of Angkor Wat. A trip to Vietnam with its noise and confusion was

balanced by the beauty of Thailand.

19F-23 The History of the Jones Falls Valley

Instructor: Bill Miller

Description: Follow the history of the Jones Falls from its origins as a source of fresh

drinking water for the sea-going ships of Jones Town and Fells Point

through its growth as an economic engine that fueled a major colonial port.

Since its heyday, the Jones Falls has gradually become a civic

embarrassment that was partially buried under a concrete corridor and

was on the way to becoming a forgotten stream that simply carries refuse

to the Inner Harbor.

Importantly, recent efforts have helped reverse this trend and, perhaps,

promise to return the Jones Falls once again into a center of economic

development and historic restoration.

Date(s): Oct. 28 Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM



19F-24 Cruise Around the World: India to America


Description:

We traveled to Colombia, Sri Lanka and then on to the fourth and final

a jumble of colors and whistles while we stepped around beggars

sleeping on the train station platform. In India we also visited the

Palace of the Four Winds, the Amber Fort, and the Jantar Mantar

Observatory. From India we passed through the dangerous seas off

the coast of Somalia and into the waters of the Red Sea. A visit to the

Valley of the Gods took my breath away.

From the Suez Canal we sailed into the Mediterranean. Greece was a highlight of culture, history, and

beauty. The trip continued to Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal before beginning a five-day Atlantic

crossing to return to America.

This is part three of a three-part series. You may register for just one or for all three.

19F-31 Prisons: Yesterday and Tomorrow

Instructor: Alvin Cohn

Description:

Even though there has been a dramatic decline in the overall crime

rate, the fact that there is a category of offenders who experience

significantly higher sentencing rates than other kinds of offenders. This

seriously contributes to “mass incarceration,” which defies reasonable

change in correctional policy. Prison sentences for murder, rape,

aggravated assault, and sexual assault have increased substantially,

while other crimes have resulted in lower rates of sentencing. We will

explore the contributing factors for these special offense category

increases.

19F-37 How Much Free-Will Do We Really Have?

Instructor: Vernon Williams

Description:

Many of us believe that we are the captain of our soul and the master

of our fate. Is this true? If this is true, then we are not subject to any

control by our DNA, medicines we take, parents we had, the

economic situation of our environment, the time in which we lived,

the accidents we have had, the education level we have attained, or

our prior and present peer group, and the religions to which we

adhere. Thus, many factors could affect our ability to make our own

decisions about ourselves and the way we act. The list is long! Will

jurisprudence ever work?

In this course, we will examine what ability we do have for exerting

our free will considering the conditions listed above.

19F-38 Minimizing End-of-Life Regrets

A Gift to Self and Others Instructor: Anita J. Tarzian Facilitator Alvin Cohn

Description:

Medical innovation has extended our lifespans and the range of possibilities to overcome physical injury, disease, and degeneration. At some point, however, the benefits of extending life are outweighed by the burdens. Where do we draw the line of transition between fighting to extend life and maximizing comfort in one's final days? How can we prepare ourselves and our loved ones for making this transition in a way that minimizes stress and regrets? Preparing for death requires focusing on life. What does it mean to live each day to its fullest as we move closer to death?

Dr. Tarzian will explore common pitfalls, myths, and misunderstandings about end-of-life care, and suggest ways you can better prepare for your own final days, and support others facing their own or a loved one's death.
