Board of Directors

Sia Henry is dedicated to creating a just society, both racially and socioeconomically, especially for high-incarceration communities of color. Sia first joined Impact Justice in fall 2014 as a program associate with the Restorative Justice Project, supporting criminal justice system partners and community-based organizations in establishing pre-charge, juvenile diversion programs. She then left the organization for two years to work as a law fellow at the Prison Law Office. There she engaged in impact litigation and monitored correctional facilities to improve conditions of confinement in prisons and jails, specifically focused on protections for people with physical and developmental disabilities. Sia rejoined Impact Justice in spring 2018 as a senior program associate with the organization’s National PREA Resource Center. In this role, she supports PREA auditor trainees, works to improve audit quality, and provides training and technical assistance, all to ensure sexual safety in confinement spaces. Sia also spends a portion of her time working on Impact Justice’s Building Justice initiative. Sia graduated from Harvard Law School and Duke University.
