Latin America has increased incarceration to address law-breaking behaviors, threatening human rights and rehabilitation prospects. From a-person-in-environment framework, we partnered with the Chilean prison service and conducted a mixed-methods, interdisciplinary, national study to identify areas for prison reform. Our findings offer evidence to implement effective social services for this population.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Upon completion, the participant will be able to criticallly analyze the potential of interdisciplinary, collaborative research in addressing prison reform
Upon completion, the participant will be able to see how various sources of data (surveys, administrative records, maps and qualitative evidence) to promote a sustainable prison reform agenda
Upon completion, the participant will be able to understand the context of incarceration in Latin America, appreciating the possibilities (and limitations) brought by this project to the US prison context
