She regularly travels throughout New York State, evaluating conditions at state prisons on behalf of the Correctional Association of New York.</p> <p>Miller has been at the forefront of applying digital video technology in the classroom, as well as in scholarship. In 2008, Miller produced a 24-minute film, "Encountering Attica." The film tracked three law students who agreed to meet with inmates serving life sentences at Attica Prison throughout their first year of law school as a way of better understanding how law operates in an applied, institutional context. More recently, Miller produced and directed a 20-minute short film for a conference she organized at the Law School on the 40th Anniversary of the Attica Uprising. The film, entitled "<a href="http://vimeo.com/29285165">4 Myths About Attica</a>," premiered at the conference, "40 Years After the Attica Uprising: Looking Back, Moving Forward" on September 12, 2011.</p> <p>Miller's current film project is a feature-length documentary film that examines the conditions under which inmates, correctional officers, and civilians live and work in maximum-security confinement under mass incarceration and in the shadow of the Attica Uprising of 1971.</p>
