New post from our series Within the System, by @EmilyStew9721: “Complete a Word Search Today, Marcus”. A man in remand uses a daily checklist to stay alive and focused. His story shows the power of structure — and how little of it exists after release.

ALT Roundtable: There is Nothing Just About it: Enhancing Disadvantage Through the Criminal Legal System; Thu, Nov 14, 5:00 to 6:20pm, Salon 7 - Lower B2 Level - Area 4. Bringing together leading scholars on policing, courts, corrections, and re-entry this session reflects on the ways marginalization is experienced and compounded at every stage of the criminal legal process in Canada. This discussion aims to challenge misconceptions that justice is equitable in the North. Examining the interwoven and often overlooked mechanisms that enhance rather than mitigate disadvantage across criminal justice professionals, spaces, and socio-legal contexts we challenge the possibilities of justice in a system that aggravates, rather than mitigates marginalization. Drawing on insights from diverse research projects that employ a variety of methodological approaches we develop our understanding of the interplay between the criminal justice process, race, Indigeneity, poverty, mental health...

Excited that @SBucerius, @kevindhaggerty and I's latest article is now live! We discuss how incarcerated men in a specialized prison program use their participation to create symbolic social boundaries between their current and former selves. (1/2)

Survey folks & prison researchers - what software/program would you recommend for survey collection on iPads in prisons? It needs to be able to collect the information offline. Any suggestions welcome! @ASC_DCS @AcademicChatter @CCR_UofA @BSC_PRN @UofAResearch @ACJS_National

New from me in @IncarcerationJ. I hope this piece complicates how we approach "decolonizing prisons" and encourages researchers to centre Indigenous experiences and advocacy when discussing these issues. The article is open access thanks to @CRKN_RCDR.

Perhaps the biggest finding of our research inside prisons was the significant impact of drugs on everyday life, reflected in this new article by @SBucerius, @kevindhaggerty, and @BerardiLuca. You can read it ahead of print in Crime and Justice.
Thrilled to share our new piece in Crime&Justice. Based on @theUAPP data, we argue that the prison/drug nexus is a structuring force of prison life and needs to be taken into account to fully appreciate incarceration experiences. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…

1/2 I've been working on this for a few years and am really pleased that it's finally out! Long and short: I interview correctional staff about how use of force is just another "part of the job," with some really interesting consequences.

Honoured to have been invited to @TheCrimAcademy for a conversation about @theUAPP. We tackled some details about the Canadian prison system, including the stark over-incarceration of Indigenous people, why prison sometimes becomes a temporary refuge for the most marginalised &

I wrote a blog for @JohnHoward_Can. It summarizes my latest study on cultural prison programs for Indigenous people: "Realizing the potential of these initiatives requires transitioning into Indigenous-led justice and healing processes beyond prisons".
