Webinar: Expanding Access to Postsecondary Education in Prison

In December 2020, Congress lifted a 26-year ban on Pell Grants for incarcerated students. In this webinar, staff from the Vera Institute of Justice discuss the law passed that reinstates Pell access for people in prison. Panelists highlight how postsecondary education in prison operates now and new considerations for corrections and higher education institutions in light of the new law.
