Adam Shatz talks about doing research for "The Rebel's Clinic" – which, included teaching a Frantz Fanon seminar for the Bard Prison Initiative @BPIBard founded by @maxkenner – on @thenation podcast bit.ly/4b8ihE8 @LRB @fsgbooks
Thanks to @BarackObama for sharing the @nytopinion by BPI’s @maxkenner, and for long supporting college-in-prison, creating Second Chance Pell in 2015, and setting the stage for the 2020 bill that finally removed the Pell Grant ban. This issue enjoys rare bipartisan support.
What’s even more frustrating is the idea college in prison needs to prove itself in these ways in the first place. Yes all these studies are deeply flawed and mostly dumb. But it’s also stupid and frankly racist and classist to think we need more and better studies. 🧵

The college courses I was allowed to take in prison gave me the head start I needed to complete my undergrad and master’s degrees after I was home. One of the smartest moves policymakers are making is to make college education available and accessible to incarcerated people.

"It’s easy for academics to view prisons as places to conduct academic research or perform community service. It’s another thing to approach them as places filled with talent and ambition, with people poised to take advantage of all we have to offer" nytimes.com/2023/11/17/opi…
One of the missions of my life has been expanding higher education in our prisons. An outstanding @nytimes piece by @maxkenner about the lifting of the Pell Grant ban for incarcerated students and the transformative nature of college in prison. nytimes.com/2023/11/17/opi…
Congratulations @YPEIdwighthall !
@DyjuanTatro @BPIBard @BardCollege I was beyond honored to be given this opportunity. The 45 and @BPIBard have touched me in a profound way.
This looks amazing:
Thank you, @FordFoundation , @darrenwalker , @hpennington_ , and, of course, @GovKathyHochul, for a terrific night. After 26 years, #TAPisBack! Congrats to all who made it happen: #TurnOnTheTAP, @ccf_ny, @Vivian_D_Nixon, @DyjuanTatro, @HudsonLink and many others.

Congratulations and thank you to the @Penn Debate team who traveled to Eastern Correctional Facility on Friday to debate the #BPIDeabte Union and won! This was BPI's second debate against the @Penn team, and we are now 1:1. Do we see a tiebreaking rematch in the future?
The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card. Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks from wherever they live. The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."
We’ve got cause to honor the persistent antecedents in this 26 year struggle. Congrats to @BPIBard @ccf_ny @JustLeadersUSA @CCA_NY @EdTrust @JohnBKing @thefortunesoc @arneduncan @verainstitute @FordFoundation @AspenAscend @AspenCjri & all who believed whether for a year or 26!

Breaking: New York has restored Tuition Assistance Program funding to incarcerated people, lifting a 26 year ban. This victory has been a long time in the making and is centered upon prioritizing people & education over prisons & punishment. #TurnIoTheTAPNY #NYBudget @BPIBard🔥
It was deeply symbolic in its messaging of whose lives mattered to the state, and whose did not. But it also had very real and material consequences. With the loss of public funding, colleges-- previously common in nearly every prison in New York--were shuttered almost instantly.
This is a generational win. So many people worked for this for so many years. Congrats to all @BPIBard alum and students, to @ccf_ny , @HudsonLink, @Vivian_D_Nixon, @DyjuanTatro and so, so many more. And, gratitude to @KathyHochul, @SenatorASC, @CarlHeastie.

BREAKING: VICTORY!! TAP RESTORATION PASSED!! Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) eligibility has been restored in the #NYSBudget after 26 years of a senseless and destructive ban. This victory is a long time in the making. #TurnOnTheTAPNY 🧵
We should not be held hostage to a rotating cast of autocrats to provide our energy. Instead of “plugging the U.S. oil gap” by switching from one foreign autocracy to another, why aren’t we focusing on weening ourselves off of climate-killing fossil fuels?
I wish I could adequately explain how upset I am at the proposed gutting of the Iowa State University Department of History and discontinuation of the graduate program.

Read the entire op ed in today’s @nytopinion from @maxkenner @BPIBard reproduced here: bpi.bard.edu/press-clip/col…
What’s even more frustrating is the idea college in prison needs to prove itself in these ways in the first place. Yes all these studies are deeply flawed and mostly dumb. But it’s also stupid and frankly racist and classist to think we need more and better studies. 🧵
What is even more frustrating about this case is that the authors say an RCT would be unethical in this context because there's so much other evidence that in-prison college programs reduce recidivism. 🤯 (1) That is not true. All studies on this topic use the same flawed design…
The assumption is that people in prison are inherently criminal and in need of some kind of treatment to be cured of their criminality. They are asking if ed can treat criminality/is the best way to fix ppl. But college in prison isn’t just another prison “program” it’s —college.
.@MrJohnnyPerez (Leading with Conviction™ 2017) writes in The Chronicle of @Philanthropy: “Yes, the criminal legal system must be completely reimagined. ... [But] those in prison need help now.” Read more: jlusa.org/2023/11/20/jlu… #UnlockTheBox #EndSolitaryConfinement
People who leave incarceration with a college education don’t go back to prison. They land careers and become significant contributors. This stuff pays for itself.
“College-in-prison saves money and reduces crime. That is why the coalition that has come to support it is unusually broad and bipartisan.” -@maxkenner
Amazingly important @nytopinion piece by @BPIBard’s ED @maxkenner. “A change taking place right now has the potential to do more good within U.S. prisons than any policy in a generation — good that will extend far beyond the realm of criminal justice.” (1/8)
