At Vera I worked with the Beyond Jails team, an initiative that employs quantitative and qualitative analysis to explore the causes, as well as the social, economic, and political implications, of detention in local county jails, community supervision (such as probation), and the criminalization of poverty. The Beyond Jails team combines research with technical assistance and communications work, in collaboration with community advocates and government agencies, to build, implement, and evaluate reforms that reduce carceral control and improve community health and safety. In the coming year, the team is building a comprehensive approach in several focus states, connecting local-level and state-level work, especially on pretrial justice issues. As a research fellow I had the opportunity to contribute to all aspects of the team’s research work, including landscaping policy and research opportunities and designing projects with local partners; accessing, cleaning, and analyzing local agency data (such as jail booking and probation data); generating and analyzing primary data (such as survey, interviews, ethnography); writing and editing reports; and translating research findings in accessible ways to different audiences.
