This report by the RAND Corporation offers a comprehensive assessment of the measures adopted by state correctional systems to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 health crisis in state prisons. It aims to shed light on both the immediate and long-term impacts of these measures on the educational prospects of incarcerated learners.
