Jen Jenkins

Jen Jenkins is a Policy Advocate with the Legal Aid Society of Washington DC. Following their incarceration in Hawai’i, they decided they wanted to become an attorney and are now admitted to the New York bar and reside in DC. Their previous work in Hawai‘i focused on criminal legal reform, housing, and LGBTQ health issues. Hawai‘i has an established college-in-prison program that needs to be expanded. Jen is committed to supporting those efforts until incarceration is no longer viewed as a solution for socially and economically constructed problems that can be addressed in many non-violent ways.
