Yesterday we sat down with Professor Megan Denver (@megandenver; @NU_SCCJ) to chat about stigma, person-first vs. crime-first vs. alternative language, and employment credentials. Episode headed your way soon!

No, it's not about the election! A rising share of people leaving prison are 55+. And @JessGrosholzPhD et al show how the jobs they can get are too demanding physically ("demolition, raking leaves, shoveling") or technically ("everything is a computer"). https://t.co/36NW8usDA0

Who will be this season's Iron Data Chef? Right when you thought methods class couldn't be more fun, we gamified it! @BurrussGeorge @USFCriminology

FDC would like to congratulate Assistant Warden Anthony Santiago and Deputy Circuit Administrator Michael Johnson on graduating from the National Public Safety Innovation Academy. This program was launched in collaboration between @PolkState and @PolkCoSheriff, focusing on

More than 3,300 wrongfully convicted people have been exonerated in the U.S. since 1989. These exonerees spent years trying to find legal representation to make a case for exoneration — a process that is complicated, difficult, and above all, lengthy.

I was so proud to accept this @CJRPusf award on behalf of our team (@MatSantos7 @justifyjusticee) and stand alongside such outstanding community leaders: Freddy Barton (left), Executive Director of Hillsborough Safe & Sound, and Former TPD Captian Paul Lusczynski (right).

Last night @USFCriminology graduate students, Kiera and @justifyjusticee, shared research findings regarding perceptions of employability for those with a criminal record at the @CJRPusf Showcase event! @MatSantos7
