| Abstract | An increasing number of correctional institutions and institutions of higher education (community and junior colleges, postsecondary vocational-technical schools as well as 4-year colleges and universities) are involved in providing prisoner/students educational opportunities to help prisoners (1) establish new personal and social contacts, (2) examine alternative life styles, and (3) acquire education and training credentials in order to enhance job opportunities. A number of federally funded demonstration projects and assistance programs have encouraged such activity. In 1975 in the Federal system, 3,000 prisoner/students enrolled in college courses. They earned 179 college degrees, 158 two-year degrees, 19 baccalaureate degrees, and two Master's degrees in that year. Estimates are that from 1% to 5% (2,500 to 12,500) of all U. S. prisoners are enrollees in some form of higher education. (WL) |
