28. The Move for More College in Prison

After almost 30 years, incarcerated students are once again eligible to receive Pell Grants. It’s a significant move with reverberations beyond prison. But providing college courses to incarcerated students isn’t easy. Andrea Cantora, Director of the University of Baltimore’s Second Chance College Program, sheds light on the importance of this move, the bipartisan shift it signals from punishment to rehabilitation, and what it’s like to teach in prison.   Higher Ed Spotlight is sponsored by Chegg’s Center for Digital Learning and aims to explore the future of higher education.
