Prison Education Program struggle with retaining educators. Low retention rates are a byproduct of inadequate training opportunities and program funding. Click the link below to learn more: jstor.org/stable/pdf/265…
Thank you to all our donors who help to make this program what it is! Your contributions help our program & students thrive. ❤️
“Reducing recidivism requires constructing an alternate reality—and technology can help. As it stands, technology is a barrier for many former inmates, who may lack experience interacting in a digital world.” (Armstrong, 2018). slate.com/technology/201…
“The emerging use of ICT in prisons promises to transform the daily lived experience of prisoners.” People need to learn to thrive. So, how can incarcerated people thrive without the proper resources to learn? Click to learn more: aic.gov.au/sites/default/…
If you’d like to donate directly to PEP, use this link: eastern.edu/about/offices-… Any donations are welcomed and appreciated & our neighbors who are incarcerated will thank you tremendously!
This Thursday and Friday, your donations will also help us to grow as a program. Learn more at the attached link.
