In the Summer of 2022, I studied criminal justice and health policy abroad with Honors Carolina. The program was entitled “Making and Unmaking a Criminal: The Intersection of Criminal Justice and Health Law and Policy.” During the program, we studied and compared the availability and unavailability of appropriate health services in the United Kingdom and the United States, under the law and in practice, and how these can lead to the “making or unmaking of a criminal.” Over the four-week course, I examined the strengths and weaknesses within both systems and learned how to identify opportunities for better coordination that would improve outcomes for those incarcerated or with criminal records.
Some of the work I did can be found here; as well as all the beautiful photos I took along the way.
