Correctional and Reentry Education

Welcome to the LINCS Community Correctional and Reentry Education group! 

The target audience for this group includes adult education practitioners who work in prisons, jails, and juvenile settings, as well as researchers and policymakers. The focus of the group is to explore issues related to teaching incarcerated adults and related research, evidence-based practices, and resources. 

Topics discussed include:

• Exploring educational interventions to help incarcerated adults obtain the skills needed to get and keep a job, acquire a high school diploma or its equivalent, and transition to postsecondary education or training

• Serving justice involved individuals with barriers to employment
