This is so true! I actually work with Kathy and could not agree more. I teach in the RIDOC women’s facility as well as in a facility in the CTDOC (hoping to expand to 2 in the next couple of weeks). The facility I work with in CT, through my nonprofit, is a pre-release, reintegration facility that provides folks with access not only to educational programs (through the Pell pilot and some other facility offered classes) but to reentry programs. However, one of the MAJOR programs that started inside and followed up with ex-offenders outside, STRIDE (http://qvcc.edu/stride/), was defunded recently. It is a HUGE blow to the work that needs to be done and I’m not sure how the population will recover.

Thanks for writing this!
