Real Cost of Prisons Project

During summer 2013, I worked as an archivist for the Real Cost of Prisons Project, a nationally renowned non-profit working to end the carceral state by connecting researchers and policy makers with women and men directly experiencing the impact of mass incarceration. I analyzed and archived over a decade’s worth of essays, reports, prose, and comics authored by incarcerated activists between 2002-2013. These materials are housed in Special Collections & University Archives at The University of Massachusetts Amherst W.E.B DuBois Memorial Library.
