CIC Team

Project Leaders


Student Research Fellows

Our student research fellows guide the direction of CIC, conduct research on issues relating to parental incarceration, and often pursue careers involving social justice or the criminal legal system.

UCI Fellows

The University of California, Irvine (UCI) has a robust pro bono program that pairs law students with public interest organizations. Our UCI fellows are exploring laws and community programs that create alternatives to parental incarceration in the US. 

St. Thomas Fellows

The University of St. Thomas runs a policy-based legal clinic called the Community Justice Project (CJP). By connecting students with community partners, CJP seeks policy-based solutions to social injustices, strives to be an agent of change in collaboration with underserved communities, and works for positive change with stakeholders.

MJF Fellows

The Minnesota Justice Foundation (MJF) Law School Public Service Program connects students at Mitchel Hamline, the University of Minnesota, and St. Thomas to pro bono legal opportunities.

Coming soon: more 2024-2025 student researchers

The University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs connects graduate students with public and nonprofit organizations like CIC through capstone field projects. Capstone students contribute their research and policy skills to the Prison Nursery Project podcast and country reports.

We will be announcing our 2024-2025 Humphrey Capstone Researchers soon.
