Welcome to Justice Cultures!

Prisons and jails are critical settings for identifying and treating substance use and other mental health disorders. But studying these topics in correctional settings requires an understanding of how these systems work.

In this course, you will help Jack, a researcher, navigate his way through correctional culture so that he can begin his research.

This course was created to give researchers an overview of these settings to help ensure that their research can be carried out rigorously and ethically, and that the findings are of practical value to correctional providers as well as to our fellow researchers.
