Investments in higher education in prison provide hope for a second chance in life, help reduce recidivism, increase prosocial behaviors, and break the cycle of poverty. To investigate the transformational power of prison education programs, Western Nevada College (WNC) will be joined by “College Behind Bars” film director Lynn Novick, Bard Prison Initiative alumnus Dyjuan Tatro, Nevada Second Assistant Attorney General Christine Brady and others for a free, virtual event on Thursday, Feb. 4.
WNC’s Higher Education in Prison Program (HEPP) provides access to higher education and workforce education for the underserved population of incarcerated men at Warm Springs and Northern Nevada correctional centers and currently serves about 100 students.
