Jamie Cannon is a recent graduate from Holy Family University with plans to continue into their graduate program. As a part of Holy Family’s Honors program, they were required to complete and present an independent research project of their choosing. Their project focused on the viability of art therapy as a treatment method for people charged with sexually based offences. Their future plans include getting my doctorate and focusing on research related to the corrections system and how to best help those who are incarcerated from reoffending upon release.
