In the face of the danger posed by COVID to people incarcerated in prisons and jails, the UCLA Prison Law and Policy Program launched the UCLA COVID Behind Bars Data Project in March 2020. Currently a team of six staff and numerous volunteers, the Project tracks the spread and impact of COVID in prisons and jails and advocates for greater transparency and accountability around the pandemic response of the carceral system. Stemming from this work, our next major focus is creating a national resource for the public’s understanding of deaths in prisons. Our centralized, nationwide project documents deaths in prison, many of which are not reflected in any publicly available data set.
The Project seeks a Communications Manager to research, write, and edit communications projects in collaboration with our interdisciplinary team of data scientists and policy researchers.
