At the Ben & Jerry’s factory: Come for the ice cream, stay for the criminal justice refom
A new exhibit at the company’s iconic (and well-visited) factory raises awareness about the need to address mass incarceration in the U.S.
If you pay a visit to the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury, Vermont, hoping to learn about ice-cream making, you certainly will get that information. But you’ll also come away with some heavier knowledge. In an art installation that will be on display from now until June 2020, Ben & Jerry’s highlights the work of people who have spent time in prison and now want to use their experience and talent to call attention to the need for criminal justice system reform.
