Description: This project is an evaluation of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Pathways from Prison to Postsecondary Education program, a prison-based correctional education program designed to increase inmates’ likelihood of attaining a postsecondary degree and reduce their likelihood of recidivating after their release. The Pathways program partners with local colleges and universities to provide inmates with (i) in-prison postsecondary education at least two years prior to release, and (ii) two years of post-release support in entering college and completing their postsecondary education. Update: The study was unable to move forward as planned, so RAND and Arnold Ventures chose to end the study prior to its completion.
