Welcome to the Womxn’s Higher Education in Prison Consortium (WHEP), a national consortium of higher education in prison programs that operate in prisons designated for women. WHEP is a collaborative initiative designed to advance equity in higher education for incarcerated women, transgender, and gender-nonconforming individuals. This groundbreaking effort, made possible through the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, brings together programs operating in women-designated prisons to address shared challenges, foster innovation, and advocate for systemic change.
While membership in WHEP in the inaugural year is limited to 10 member programs, this community group is open to anyone working on issues concerning women's-designated prisons and woman-identified incarcerated populations.
