Inside-Out Prison Exchange
Expanding LC course offerings at the Columbia River Correctional Institution
The Inside-Out Prison Exchange brings fifteen people incarcerated at the Columbia River Correctional Institution and fifteen undergraduate students together in courses taught by Lewis & Clark College faculty.
For both students and faculty, the experience is powerful and transformative.“None of us will ever look at the world the same way,” one student said.
Applications are now open for Summer 2023 Inside-Out Instructor Training Faculty Grants.
Demand for these courses, from both incarcerated (inside) and Lewis & Clark (outside) students, far surpasses our current offerings. Now, with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s “Healing Social Suffering Through Narrative” grant, we are expanding the Inside-Out courses offered by Lewis & Clark.
We hope to hear from you!
