Meet Author Alice Reagan

Alice Reagan will discuss the 91-year history of the Lorton Prisons Complex in Fairfax County. She will include slides from the recently published Lorton Prisons (2023). Her presentation will address: Why was the original Occoquan Workhouse located in Fairfax County? Why was it seen as an experiment in carceral methods? Over its 91-year history, how did it change from a progressive reform effort to an institution that focused on isolating its inmates from society? How did a lack of resources lead to its closure in 2001?
