The South Haven Speakers Series, with the theme "Issues, Innovations and Ideas Shaping our Lives", was launched in 2015 for the purpose of informing citizens by stimulating thought on significant issues of the day through presentations by non-partisan experts not otherwise available to South Haven. The 2016 series will feature five presentations beginning in April and continuing through October.
The Series is made possible through grants from the South Haven Community Foundation, Meijer, and Carole & Don Hodgman. Refreshments are served after the presentation.
"The Case for Sentencing and Prison Reform" will be the Thursday, September 15 topic to be presented by Joe Haveman, a former State Representative from Holland. Michigan spends more on prisons than on higher education, with the average Michigan prisoner serving nearly 50% more time than the national average. Haveman will examine the causes as well as the related financial, social and moral costs of our current system and how it can be improved. He is currently director of government relations for the Hope Network, a behavioral healthcare and neuro-rehabilitation non-profit organization.
