Andrea Armstrong, a law professor at Loyola University of New Orleans, has been named a recipient of the MacArthur "genius grant" for her work documenting the deaths of incarcerated people and Exposing the dehumanizing conditions of confinement in prisons and jails. Her research has shed light on the harmful conditions faced by those behind bars in the United States. Armstrong's work has also led to calls for reform and improved transparency in reporting prison deaths and conditions. She plans to use the grant money to support her work with law students and community organizations to publicly share data and research on incarcerated deaths.
