Criminal justice reform advocate and former public defender Keeda Haynes will discuss and sign copies of her book “Bending the Arc: My Journey from Prison to Politics” on Sunday at the Williamson County Library. The event will run from 3-4:30 p.m. CST, the Williamson Herald reports. Arrested while in college, Haynes spent four years in prison for helping her boyfriend traffic drugs. She has maintained that she did not know the nature of the work. After her release, Haynes earned a law degree. The book traces her journey through the prison system and into politics while also exploring criminal justice reform, racial justice, solution-based change and community activism. The book is available at www.keedahaynes.com.
