Abstract

The Inside Out corrections course (SOC 2211 S + GE) includes Ohio State students and incarcerated individuals from the Southeastern Correctional Complex in Lancaster, Ohio. Both "inside" and "outside" students earn credit for the course, which examines various approaches and interdisciplinary modes of inquiry into U.S. models of corrections.

Description

IMPACT. 1: The class is based on a national initiative that seeks to transform ways of thinking about crime and justice that encourages participants to see crime and justice issues from new perspectives and assists students (free and incarcerated) in seeing themselves as potential agents of social change. -- 2. Previous Inside Out students have coordinated an annual alumni dinner, presented papers at local and national conferences, and been invited guest lecturers at universities across the state of Ohio to discuss their experiences in prison, Inside Out, and re-entry. Additionally, students have published journal articles about their experiences.
