In April 2020, Kelsey Kauffman ’71 convened a Zoom meeting with criminal justice advocates nationwide. A month into the pandemic, it already was clear that people living and working in the 7,000 jails, prisons, and detention centers across the U.S. were among the most vulnerable to COVID-19. Kelsey, a former correctional officer who founded the higher education program at Indiana Women’s Prison, feared that her incarcerated friends and former students were at severe risk of dying from the virus.
After its initial meeting, the group decided to launch a website to honor those who had died and those who likely would die over the course of the pandemic. The effort was named “Mourning Our Losses,” and the online memorial site became public on Memorial Day.

Laurie Johnson, warden of the Indiana Women’s Prison, is leaving her post. The change comes after the state corrections department began a “comprehensive review of all IWP operations” last month.
Johnson began her career at the Indiana Department of Correction in 1990, and became warden of the women’s prison in 2017. In January, she was on approved leave when the department internally announced plans to examine the Indianapolis facility’s “programs, treatment services, maintenance, and situational readiness,” according to an email sent to prison staff. Deputy warden Virginia Sampson became the acting head of the prison.
