}}Jean Trounstine is an activist, author and professor emerita at Middlesex Community College in Lowell, Massachusetts.[1]

Early life and education

Jean Trounstine, the daughter of Henry Philip and Amy Joseph Trounstine, grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio.{{cn|date=September 2018}} She attended Walnut Hills High School (Cincinnati, Ohio), a public college-preparatory high school recognized as one of the nation's best.[2]

She graduated with a B.A. in theater with honors from Beloit College in 1965, and an M.F.A. in acting from Brandeis University in 1973.{{cn|date=September 2018}}

She began her career as an actress, pursued films and theater in California and has performed in 30 plays.[3]

Teaching and activism

Trounstine taught high school English in Duxbury, Massachusetts, (1986-8) and at Nashoba Regional High School (1988-9) before joining the faculty at Middlesex Community College (Massachusetts) in 1989.[1]

In 1987, she began teaching and piloted work with women, directing plays at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Framingham for almost 10 years.[4]

She co-founded the women's branch of Changing Lives Through Literature (CLTL) in 1992 with Judge Joseph Dever, First Justice of the Lynn District Court. Probationers, probation officers, judges and professors sit in a classroom together and discuss books.[5] CLTL costs less than $500 a person and proponents say that it saves the government tens of thousands of dollars when compared with the cost of housing a prisoner.[6] A recidivism study of the program by University of Massachusetts professor Russell Schutt showed that it helps to reduce a return to crime.[7]

In 2008, after Trounstine met Karter Reed, who was incarcerated in an adult prison for murder that he committed at age 16, she began researching juvenile justice.[8]
