Abstract
After his release from prison, Mr. Carlos Sanchez' training in mathematics, and his prison experience, made him well suited to assist with a research project about the criminal legal system. He applied to, and was accepted for, a position as a research assistant at the Deason Criminal Justice Reform Center on a project investigating the impact of new funding for New York's indigent defense system. Carlos' lived experience of the justice system suddenly encompassed two roles: that of a formerly-incarcerated man, and that of a researcher. In these auto-ethnographic notes, he reflects on the conflicts between those roles as he engaged in that work.
