Dr. Jennifer Schlosser is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Coastal Carolina University. For the last fifteen years, her research has focused on social inequalities in the criminal justice system, primarily in prisons and corrections. She has published two books and several academic articles that highlight her work conducting in-depth interviews with incarcerated people and advocate for privileging their narratives in the construction of prison policies aimed at reducing recidivism. Dr. Schlosser also advocates for the decriminalization of drugs, homelessness, and mental illness, the abolishment of racist and classist laws like three strikes, stop and frisk, and race-based sentencing disparities, and the discontinuation of policies that contribute to felon disenfranchisement after release.
Dr. Schlosser is currently working with J. Ruben Long Detention Center in Conway to offer a class called The Jail Experience where she takes campus-based students to the jail weekly and teaches them, alongside incarcerated students, in an effort to promote education and increase compassion, communication, and community investment in the successful transition of inmates post-release.
