Crocker's prison research highlighted in VT Digger

Vermont news site VTDigger featured the research of Abigail Crocker, PhD, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, in their report of January 15 titled "Survey results continue to paint a grim picture at Springfield prison". 

“What we've seen, at least in this 2022 data, is just it's an environment that's very stressful for staff and incarcerated (people),” said Abigail Crocker, a co-founder of the University of Vermont’s Justice Research Initiative, who helped lead the university’s participation in the study.

“The things that really stand out from the results,” Crocker added, “are mental health, the physical health, social health impacts, of working or being incarcerated in a facility.”

Congratulations to Abby and her team!
