Victoria Inzana is a Ph.D. Candidate in Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Missouri- Saint Louis. She obtained a Bachelor of Science from Florida State University and a Master of Arts from the University of Missouri- Saint Louis. She is broadly interested in corrections, reentry, and punishment work. Her qualitative dissertation, “Performances in Prison: Identity Transformation Through Role-Taking” examines identity shifts within the correctional context. Specifically, she considers how tensions between rehabilitative goals and punitive goals influence social roles, and thus identities, within prison. Additionally, she is also working on a project with her advisor Beth Huebner, funded by the Urban Institute exploring the culture and climate inside prisons.
