Student Profiles – Dylan Haywood
Dylan Haywood
Graduating senior Dylan Haywood received the generous Dwight and Katie Wade Scholarship last spring to support her travel to Ireland during the summer of 2015. There, she worked as an intern for Le Chéile, a nonprofit organization developed in Ireland’s criminal justice reform movement, offering mentoring and justice support services to youth offenders and their families. Dylan attended prison visitations, Young Persons Probation services meetings, and worked with the head manager of the only restorative justice project in Ireland. In addition, Dylan represented Le Chéile at the 2015 Annual Irish Criminal Justice Agencies Conference, where she spoke to members of Irish Parliament and the current Minister for Justice and Equality, Frances Fitzgerald. She also had the opportunity to travel to the most serious conflict zones of Ireland, Germany, and Northern Ireland. Dylan has just completed her senior project on the linkages between mass incarceration and inequality in communities of color. In fall 2016 she will begin graduate studies in criminology at the University of Delaware.
