The LLS Anit-Racism Center invites you to attend a presentation on Compounded Punishment: Labor, Discipline, Health and Death. Our Guest Speaker Andrea Armstrong, is a 2023 MacArthur Fellow and the Dr. Norman C. Francis Distinguished Professor at Loyola University New Orleans, College of Law, where she teaches incarceration law, constitutional law, criminal procedure, and race and the law.  Her interdisciplinary research focuses on the constitutional dimensions of conditions of confinement.  Prof. Armstrong founded IncarcerationTransparency.org, a database and website that documents and memorializes deaths behind bars in Louisiana and supports similar efforts across the United States.  She has testified before Congress on carceral mortality and forced prison labor.  Her research has also been profiled by New Yorker Magazine, and has appeared in the Atlantic, Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, the New York Times, and Stanford Law & Policy Review, among others.
