Her research is focused on social justice issues for marginalized populations – particularly, the impact of incarceration on communities of color and the obstacles women face before, during, and after incarceration.

In collaboration with the authors of the current handbook, Dr. Garcia-Hallett has partaken in multi-year community-engaged research projects to improve prison conditions for those working and living in carceral spaces, and to promote the overall well-being of prison staff and residents.
