The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program® facilitates dialogue and education across profound social differences — through courses held inside prison, involving students from a higher education setting and incarcerated students.
These courses ignite enthusiasm
for learning — encouraging participants to find their unique voice and to consider how they can make change in the world.
The Inside-Out Center serves as an incubator
for the cutting-edge approaches to learning that have been spawned throughout our global network.

Reflecting on Inside-Out
"The beautiful thing about this program is it doesn’t answer questions. It asks them. It asks us who we are in many ways. Who are we as a culture? What are our true values, as individuals and as a collective?
"The Inside-Out program also puts the onus on each participant to determine what they, on a personal level, are willing to do to effect the change we so obviously need. Once you have attended the classes, you can no longer feign innocence.
"Finally, on a personal note, the Inside-Out program allowed me once a week to be someone I always dreamt of being… a college student. For that, I am eternally grateful.”
