Previous projects have included leading the Center’s efforts to analyze the move to virtual criminal court; addressing the admission bars to law school and the State Bar for people with criminal records; co-founding and running Project ReMADE, an entrepreneurship bootcamp for people with criminal records; and co-directing Renewing Communities (www.correctionstocollegeca.org), a statewide initiative to expand college opportunities for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students in California (in partnership with Rebecca Silbert).

From 2005 to 2010, she served as the founding Director of the Prisoner Reentry Institute at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Ms. Mukamal oversaw all of the Institute’s projects, including the design and implementation of the NYC Justice Corps, an innovative neighborhood-based reentry service initiative, and the development of research in the areas of entrepreneurship, correctional education, long-term incarceration, and reentry from local jails. Before joining John Jay College, she served as the founding director of the National H.I.R.E. Network and a staff attorney at the Legal Action Center, where her work focused on the collateral consequences of criminal records.
