More correctional psychology research is needed to enact better living conditions for incarcerated individuals and working conditions for those who are employed in correctional institutions. Thank you to Ashley Batastini & David Pitts for your insights into this important area! #apls2025

I know it's Puerto Rico and I know it's Saturday morning, but do not miss the closing plenary with me and David Pitts of the Urban Institute. Even if corrections isn't your "thing," the core message (spoiler alert) is about collaboration. We'll meet you at 10:45 AM in San Juan 4-8. #AP-LS2025
