Molly Crane (she/her) is a JD/MPP student at Harvard Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School. She is grateful to have spent her life advocating alongside people harmed by the criminal legal system, including people tortured in solitary confinement; youth denied access to special education while in prison; elders held in carceral facilities despite their severe medical needs; trans women discriminated against by corrections officers; people with disabilities held in immigration detention; water protectors criminalized for their courageous resistance; and children targeted by the police. Molly first became involved with NPEP as the inaugural NPEP instructor at the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ), teaching the sociology course “The Criminal Legal System in America: Foundations and Advocacy.” She is honored to serve as Director of the IDJJ Partnership.
