Education from the Inside, Out recommends reversing federal and state budget cuts from the 1990s that have virtually eliminated in-prison college programs in New York and across the country. The report includes a survey of relevant research and a review of six model in-prison college programs. The report also contains first-hand testimony from program directors and formerly incarcerated program participants.
