In this episode of Inside American Jails, we sit down with Dr. John “Jay” Lawrie, a former correctional professional within the Connecticut Department of Correction who transitioned from a 20-year career behind prison walls to the forefront of academia.
Join us as we explore the experiences and insights of this esteemed guest, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities that await individuals after their time in corrections.
Our guest, Dr. Jay Lawrie, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Having dedicated two decades of his life to the MacDougall/Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield, Connecticut, Jay witnessed the complexities of the criminal justice system firsthand. Having retired from the Department of Correction in 2013, he made a significant pivot to the realm of education.
Now serving as an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice and Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice and Sociology at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Ct., Dr. Lawrie's academic expertise is fueled by his extensive background in corrections. We'll explore how his unique perspective enriches the learning experience for his students and contributes to the broader understanding of the criminal justice system.
During the interview, Dr. Jay Lawrie will take us through the pivotal moments in his career that prompted him to pursue higher education after his retirement. We'll learn about the challenges he faced while transitioning from a prison environment to an academic one, and how his firsthand experience with inmates has shaped his approach to teaching and research.
Tune in as we discuss the critical importance of addressing rehabilitation and reintegration programs for correctional staff reentering society after their career in corrections is over.
