H.B. 5127, An Act Requiring a Needs Assessment for the Delivery of Postsecondary Education Programs in Prisons

The ACLU-CT believes that making education available for all people in prison is essential. Every person living with a criminal record, should have an equal opportunity to build a successful and fulfilling life. Increasing access to education within prisons is a promising strategy in helping people find work after their release and breaking the cycle of incarceration.
