Here is just one example of a prison educational program ... the department of corrections website (ny) lists programs offered in each correctional institution if you just want that simply ...
Max Kenner, who graduated from Bard College in 2001, set up the Bard prison initiative. The Bard Prison Initiative addresses the great need for college-level instruction in the state prison system. BPI Programs Bard Degree Program (Eastern Correctional Facility) In partnership with Episcopal Social Services, Bard is developing a program that will return college opportunities to male prisoners in New York State. The program was begun at Eastern Correctional Facility in Napenoch, New York, with the Bard College Courses in the Humanities. It will eventually include a full degree program. The courses provides the foundation for a liberal arts education by offering college credit for introductory courses in philosophy, history, literature, art history, and writing. Poetry Workshop (Beacon Correctional Facility) Students prepare lesson plans and facilitate weekly 90-minute poetry sessions at this womens correctional facility. At the end of each semester, the womens writing is published in an anthology and celebrated with a public reading of their work.
In the GED Tutoring Program (Beacon, Hudson and Eastern Correctional Facilities) students provide one-on-one assistance to inmates working to acquire the General Education Diploma.
At Eastern, the program is in Spanish. Education in the Community BPI sponsors speakers, workshops and conferences at Bard on topics relevant to prison life and the prison industry in NY.
