What Do the Doctors Say?: Tracing the History of Prison Medicine in Rhode Island

Faculty Sponsor: Catherine Imbriglio

Emily researched prison healthcare in Rhode Island during the late-19th century. Using the wide variety of prison-related documents that are available at the State Archives, she synthesized this complicated history into a collection of poetry that is expressive and accessible to a wide public audience.

Emily is now studying medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
