Postsecondary prison education programs come in various forms, ranging from noncredit workshops taught by volunteers to full degree-granting programs. In partnership with local prisons or jails, colleges conduct classes inside the facilities.
What happened to prison education programs?
This shut down hundreds of prison education programs across the country that relied on the funding. Partial eligibility was reinstated in 2015 with the Second Chance Pell experiment, which provided Pell Grants to incarcerated students in about 70 postsecondary prison education programs.
What are the different types of prison education?
Other activities such as rehabilitation programs, physical education, and arts and crafts programmes may also be considered a form of prison education. Programmes are typically provided, managed, and funded by the prison system, though inmates may be required to pay for distance education programmes.
How were prisoners educated?
In the United States, prisoners were given religious instruction by chaplains in the early 19th century, and secular prison education programmes were first developed in order to help inmates to read Bibles and other religious texts. The first major education programme aimed at rehabilitating prisoners was launched in 1876.
