The Inside-Out Center 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
"A second chance isn’t only the one the world offers. It’s the one I’ve learned to offer myself. Since my return, the real work has been trusting that my history isn't a deficit, but a unique form of knowledge. For me, civic life began with that recognition – with the decision to step forward, engage, and lead with the conviction that my transformation has value.
"Stronger communities are shaped when we, as returning citizens, claim our place within them with confidence and the quiet certainty that lived experience helps build something more humane for everyone."
– Joe Schwartz
