Laura Musselman, MFA

Laura Musselman is Executive Director of the Humane Hospice Prison Project. She is an end-of-life doula, writer, and former college instructor. With a background in philosophy, education, and trauma support, she brings both critical inquiry and practical grounding to her leadership. As the Executive Director of the Humane Prison Hospice Project, Laura focuses on strengthening community-based responses to serious illness and aging within correctional settings: models shaped by the people most impacted by incarceration. She works alongside incarcerated peer caregivers, correctional health teams, and local partners to build practical, relationship-centered pathways that expand dignity and accountability inside complex systems. Her leadership is grounded in the belief that care is not optional infrastructure, but a collective, societal responsibility.
