Background

About Lauren Miley

I utilize research to advocate for vulnerable populations. I am passionate about incarcerated persons’ rights, mental health care, alternatives to incarceration, and an overall improvement in the quality of life for all people and especially those most vulnerable. My prior work has examined the causes and consequences of offending among vulnerable populations.
