About us
Welcome to Incarceration Transparency – South Carolina. This website reflects the diligent work of law students at the University of South Carolina School of Law. The data shared here was collected by students in Professor Madalyn Wasilczuk’s Eighth Amendment Law & Litigation course in 2022 and 2023. Since then, Professor Wasilczuk and student research assistants have continued to collect data. This project owes a debt of gratitude to Professor Andrea Armstrong for her vision and seed funding to begin this important work. This website is a project of the Technology and Legal Innovation Clinic at Loyola Law School, New Orleans, supervised by clinical Professor Judson Mitchell.
