 The Women's Justice Institute, or WJI, is a national think and do tank based in Chicago that works to address women's mass incarceration. In addition, I'm the director of the Incarcerated Survivors Program at Ascend Justice, a civil legal aid organization focused on survivors of domestic violence and parents impacted by the child welfare system. I also sit on the Commission on Children of Incarcerated Parents and the Illinois Department of Corrections Adult Advisory Board.
