The Center for Prison Outreach and Education
The mission statement for The Center for Prison Outreach and Education:
Providing a Second Chance Through Education.
The belief and statistics show that educated prisoners have a greatly reduced rate of recidivism and make valuable contributions to society upon release from their prison sentence.
Based at the College of New Jersey, The Center for Prison Outreach and Education provides educational programming to local inmates with college professors and students teaching the inmates. The courses offered are credit-bearing and other forms of academic tutoring are available to enrich the lives of those living behind bars.
