Wesleyan’s Center for Prison Education was the topic of the March 21 Academic (Technology) Roundtable discussion held in Olin Library. On March 1, Wesleyan faculty formally approved the program to extend beyond its initial two-year pilot phase to become a long-term facet of the university. Over the next five years, the CPE will admit additional cohorts of incarcerated students at Cheshire Prison, as well as create a second college campus at York Prison for women in 2012.
