This Friday (Oct. 20th), Grammy-winning R&B artist Miguel will be headlining a free arts and music festival titled, ‘#SchoolsNotPrisons’ out in Adelanto, California. Considered to be the home of the state’s largest immigrant prison, the festival was created to shine a spotlight on the ways for-profit immigrant prisons harm the health and safety of California communities.

“It’s important now, more than ever, for us to recognize humanity in one another,” said Miguel. “I’m just hoping to help educate myself on the realities of our immigration policy and also shed whatever light I can on the families dealing with cruel and unjust treatment in Adelanto.”

Set to be emceed by comedienne Cristela Alonzo and others, the festival is set to feature performances by Los Rakas, Ceci Bastida, and Buyepongo. The #SchoolsNotPrisons Adelanto Concert will take place at the Adelanto Stadium, with gates opening at 5:30 pm and the concert starting at 6 pm.

Guest speakers will include those who’ve been incarcerated inside the Adelanto immigrant prison.
