About Me

I am a SSRC Criminal Justice Innovation Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Maryland, where I am hosted jointly by the Department of Criminology & Criminal Justice and the School of Public Policy. My research focuses on how prison conditions and policies affect in-prison and post-release outcomes. I am currently working on projects related to prison climate, and the impact of prison-based programming on post-release employment. I am also interested in the overlap between systems of crime and immigration control, and have published on the impact of a local-federal immigration enforcement partnership on police behavior. I previously managed a large scale peer support program in prisons in the UK and Ireland. I also served as an independent monitor of two immigration removal centers.
