During her time in law school, Caitlyn worked with the Southern Higher Education in Prison Collective to create a comprehensive guide to the parole hearing process in Tennessee. The guide she created will be used to educate not only those individuals seeking parole but also attorneys seeking to represent those individuals on a pro bono basis.
