Hi Fediverse! I'm John. Incarcerated in Florida 2002-2021 (age 18-37), worked as GED instructor inside. Now MS student at Syracuse studying data science to build transparency tools for incarceration/law enforcement data. Skeptical of "reform" tech that helps agencies with surveillance and efficiency instead of exposing them to accountability. Here to learn from and follow thoughtfully critical voices in data science, AI ethics, and tech accountability. Also pictures of cats. #introduction
