A new guidebook has been released aimed to help accreditors, and administrators and professors involved in the accreditation process, to better evaluate college-in-prison programs. The guide, the first of its kind, was produced by the Vera Institute of Justice, a criminal justice research and advocacy organization, and the Higher Learning Commission, an accrediting body. It comes at a time when the Pell Grant is on the cusp of being reallowed for use by incarcerated students, starting next year.
