Jamie Hein

As a 20th century U.S. historian, my interests include gendered confinement and resistance in carceral spaces. My undergraduate work as a Haas Scholar focused on the history of women's imprisonment and the administration of mental health care in California, from confinement in state psychiatric hospitals to deinstitutionalization and U.S. Mass Incarceration. I am also a contributing member of the Carceral State Project, Conditions of Confinement team.
