Welcome New Justice Collaboratory Members
The Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School is thrilled to welcome three new members to our community:

His renowned and much-honored work explores the world of prison and the effects of violence and incarceration on American society. The author of a memoir and three collections of poetry, his latest collection of poetry, Felon, explores the post incarceration experience and lingering consequences of a criminal record. Betts was recently named a MacArthur fellow in recognition of his “commitment to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world.”
