Mission
The SEICHE Center for Health and Justice works to understand and address the extensive public health harms of mass incarceration through clinical care, research, education, and legal advocacy and scholarship.
The SEICHE name is derived from the seiche (pronounced “SAYSH”) wave, a wave that emerges in stagnant waters as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions, disrupting the status quo. We are disrupting two siloed systems, the carceral system and community healthcare system. Our explicit goal is to disrupt mass incarceration.
