June, 2015

Penn State establishes the Restorative Justice Initiative (RJI) as part of the College of Education. The goal of the program is to give incarcerated individuals access to a wide range of for-credit classes that would count towards a degree. Studies have found that former prisoners who have advanced their education while in prison are less likely be re-incarcerated.
