D.A.T.A. (Data Access, Transparency, and Accountability) Research Program
The D.A.T.A. (Data Access, Transparency, and Accountability) Research Program is an extension of our dedicated policy advocacy efforts, conceived in response to the persistent challenges in data collection practices. Born amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the initiative specifically addresses the acute lack of transparency within penal institutions, especially concerning data on incarcerated women—an area long neglected and critically underreported.
RestoreHER is at the forefront of this transformative project, utilizing IRB certification to gather extensive data. This endeavor isn't just about numbers; it's about harnessing Big Data to inform and empower government bodies, public health officials, social justice organizations, community stakeholders, and all those engaged in the advocacy and support of justice-involved women.

D.A.T.A. Is LIFE Research Conference
Despite attending numerous data conferences, reviewing extensive reports, and consulting with data scientists, the result has consistently been insufficient and outdated information with no viable solutions to meet the urgent needs of justice-involved women. The D.A.T.A. Is LIFE Research Conference was born out of this urgent need.
The D.A.T.A. Is Life conference aims to:
By integrating the voices and leadership of those directly impacted, the D.A.T.A. Is LIFE Research Conference ensures that research is not only ethical, but profoundly informed and relevant to current issues within the carceral state. The insights derived from our collaborations are amplified to highlight the importance of these voices, stressing the critical need for "real-time" data that can drive future research and reform. This is more than a conference; it's a community and a movement, championing data as a tool for justice and systemic change.
The D.A.T.A. Is Life conference aims to:
- Advance understanding of challenges faced by justice-impacted women through innovative research and dialogue
