Colleages,
I invite you to reive a new policy report, Laying the Groundwork: How States Can Improve Access to Continued Education for People in the Criminal Justice System. The report identifies four key building blocks necessary to provide postsecondary education to people who are incarcerated in facilities and after release. They include: (1) use of available funding, (2) a continuum of postsecondary programming, (3) elimination of participation restrictions, and (4) incentives and supports to encourage participation and completion.
Does your state meet the criterion? What are your thoughts?
