Stacy Burnett is Senior Product Manager at ITHAKA Labs, where she leads work at the intersection of technology, access, and justice for people who are incarcerated. She led JSTOR Access in Prison to a program now serving more than one million incarcerated learners and approximately thirty million searches annually across correctional systems, and developed the technical and partnership approaches required to deliver complex digital tools into the security-restricted, low-bandwidth environments of correctional facilities.

Prior to joining JSTOR, Stacy was a Senior Public Health Advisor for NYC Health + Hospitals, where she managed COVID-19 investigations for the Department of Education through the Mayor’s office. She first encountered the access-to-justice gap as a jailhouse lawyer, an experience that continues to shape her work making specialized knowledge genuinely usable by the people most often locked out of it. She serves on various advisory boards and steering committees that advance access to knowledge for marginalized people.

Stacy is an alumna of the Bard Prison Initiative and holds a master of business administration in sustainability from Bard Graduate Center.
