Loyola University Chicago

Bryant Jackson-Green is a Lecturer in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Loyola University Chicago and a Research Fellow with the Center for Public Health Law Research at the Temple University Beasley School of Law. His research examines how courts, litigation, and legal interventions shape health policy in correctional settings, with a particular focus on the constitutional dimensions of prison healthcare. 

Drawing on mixed methods, his research examines how legal and policy interventions are implemented, with particular attention to the organizational processes and oversight mechanisms that shape reform efforts. His broader research agenda focuses on policy implementation, institutional reform, and the role of monitoring and accountability in correctional health governance. His recent work includes a systematic content analysis of prison healthcare consent decrees and settlement agreements, published in Social Sciences (2026), examining how courts have used these tools to influence correctional health reform across the United States. 

He holds a PhD in Social Ecology and a JD from the University of California, Irvine, an MPPA from Northwestern University, and a BA in Political Science from the University of Chicago.
