We’re Expanding Incarcerated Readers’ Access to News about Prison Education
Open Campus is expanding access to College Inside, its newsletter about prison education, to thousands of incarcerated readers through new partnerships with educational technology providers.
This will allow Open Campus to better serve those readers with curated content and service journalism that answers their questions about educational opportunities in prison and how to navigate barriers to accessing them. With no direct internet access, people in prison live in information deserts and often lack even basic information about higher education.
For the last year, Open Campus has been working with Edovo, a tech nonprofit that offers a tablet-based app that is available on both GTL and Securus devices provided to people in prisons in some states. All new issues of College Inside, as well as archives, are now available on the Edovo app.
