Prospectus: A working document to support the planning and launch of the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison (in Spanish)

With support from an anonymous donor, Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison and the Saint Louis University Prison Program have spearheaded a year-long planning process related to the formation of a national organization for higher education in prison. Throughout the process, input was gathered from a broad range of stakeholders and key partners related to
the purpose and promise of higher education in prison, its role in addressing larger issues of injustice in our society, and ways in which a national organization could serve to increase access to higher education in prison. The process included research and interviews with other national organizations, stakeholder feedback collected via surveys (online and paper) and focus groups, and three distinct strategic planning workshops. The planning process has culminated in this Prospectus, a working document to support further planning for and the launch of the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison (AHEP), a national organization with a mission to support the expansion of quality higher education in prison, empower students in prison and after release, and shape public discussion about education and incarceration.
