This week, the Summer Fellows were able to attend The NYC Justice Peer Initiative conference on Wednesday. As part of Columbia’s Justice-in-Education Initiative, the conference hopes to transform lived experiences into lived expertise through policy-making, learning, healing, and more. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from experts in the field, including formerly incarcerated individuals.
Besides the conference, my work for the Probation and Parole team has also picked up — I’ve started looking more closely at the data on the Justice Outcome Explorer, which has nationwide statistics on incarceration, and thinking about how to combine it with the data that the team has on probation in Texas. I’ve been working with my supervisor in R to analyze and visualize the data. We set a goal of preparing a research brief on this data by the end of my fellowship at the Justice Lab, and I’m excited to see how it turns out!
