Jamie joined the faculty of the School of Criminal Justice in fall 2008. Her research interests include youth incarceration, prisoner reentry, desistance from offending, and the collateral consequences of mass imprisonment. She is currently concluding a longitudinal, ethnographic study of young, Black men returning to Philadelphia from a juvenile correctional facility designed to address “criminal thinking errors.” Her project has documented their lives for over three years as they navigated the dual transition from confinement to community and adolescence into young adulthood. Jamie previously worked on ProDES (Program Development and Evaluation System), a comprehensive, outcomes-based evaluation of programs offered to adjudicated delinquent youth.
