A housing advocate his entire life, Dr. Draine’s work was grounded in social justice. “He was a dedicated, skilled, and highly successful researcher who understood that—when done right—research could be a form of resistance,” said his family in a tribute. “He was involved in pioneering research on peer-delivered services and was a leading researcher in understanding the experiences of people with mental illnesses in the criminal justice system. He was a vocal advocate for mental healthcare in prisons and a staunch prison abolitionist, challenging the systems he worked within to be more humane and equitable. The quintessential social worker, Jeff knew that mental illness was real, but cared a lot more about addressing the poverty, racism, and other forms of oppression that make mental health problems so much more intractable and difficult to live with.”
