Join the ASSETT Innovation Incubator Inclusive Data Science team for a panel discussion with Professor Andrea Armstrong, Professor Judson Mitchell and student collaborators from Loyola University on their collaborative effort to create the Incarceration Transparency database.

Dr. Armstrong is a leading national expert on prison and jail conditions and is certified by the U.S. Department of Justice as a Prison Rape Elimination Act auditor. Prof. Armstrong founded IncarcerationTransparency.org, a website that provides facility-level deaths behind bars data and analysis for Louisiana and memorializes lives lost behind bars.  Her research has been profiled by New Yorker Magazine and quoted in the New York Times, the Atlantic, National Public Radio, and the Times-Picayune among others.  Her scholarship focuses on the constitutional dimensions of prisons and jails, specifically prison labor practices, the intersection of race and conditions of incarceration, and public oversight of detention facilities.   

This event is co-sponsored by the ASSETT Innovation Incubator and the Center for Research Data & Digital Computing at the University of Colorado Boulder.
