Meet our Team!
Paula Harriott is our director of development and fundraising and CEO of Unlock, a charity working to help people overcome the disadvantages caused by their criminal records. Previously, she worked as Head of Prisoner Involvement at the Prison Reform Trust and is known nationally as a lived experience leader.
Lucy Campbell is a lived experience criminologist and health researcher based at University of Edinburgh. She is just completing her PhD which is grounded in her own LE of imprisonment over a 10 year sentence. Lucy is the Director of Policy and Advocacy at Experience for Justice CIC. Drawing on her own experience of imprisonment, she works across research, policy, and advocacy to build collective power and ensure lived experience is not just included, but leading change. Her approach is rooted in peer support, shared knowledge, and challenging traditional ideas of expertise.
Dr Danica Darley is the director for impact at the Experience for Justice CIC and is a criminologist, social-care researcher, and lived-experience scholar whose work bridges justice, care, and participatory research. With more than 15 years’ professional experience supporting care-experienced young people and those on the margins of the criminal justice system, her academic career is grounded in real-world practice and shaped by her own lived experience as a woman who has served a custodial sentence. This unique perspective informs her commitment to relational practice, co-production, and amplifying voices rarely heard in mainstream research.
Fleur Riley is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work spans Applied Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Criminology, Sociology and Public Health. Her research is driven by a commitment to social justice and the promotion of equitable, inclusive research practices that centre lived experience. Fleur’s interests focus on social harm, health inequality, drug use and addiction, homelessness, creative health, women’s lived experiences, and the intersecting effects of structural disadvantage.
Fleur holds a First-Class Honours degree in Applied Psychology and a Master’s in Social Research Methods (Criminology) with Distinction. She is currently completing her PhD, funded by the ESRC (NINE DTP), which explores the role of trust in women’s incarceration and rehabilitation in relation to gendered victimisation and experiences of ‘justice’.
Dr Donna Arrondelle is the director of research at Experience for Justice CIC. As a scholar activist she comes to E4J as a conduit - by the nature of being within the academy (in the corridors of power) - She tries to provide channels for others outside of the university to become meaningfully involved in knowledge production. She also brings lived experience of familial imprisonment, hoping to highlight the diversity of the sometimes called ‘LEx movement’.
