Pell Grant Reinstatement Initiative is a combined, grassroots effort of incarcerated men at Toledo Correctional and local prison reform activists who believe access to federal funds for college should be reinstated for prisoners.
Education has been proven to reduce recidivism, increase opportunities for employment and is the cornerstone of human flourishing.
It is time we recognize that America's incarcerated men and women are part of our society, and while they are serving time, it is in the best interest for all of us to support improvement of their minds and lives through opportunities for higher education.
Look for many, many things to come, including valuable and informative links, a website, and passionate letters advocating reinstatement from the prisoners, themselves.
