Laura Ciolkowski, CSSD Associate Director and Adjunct Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University, was recently featured in a Reuters story about the literature humanities course she teaches at the Taconic Correctional Facility, a medium security women's prison in Bedford Hills, New York.
The course is offered through Columbia University's Justice-in-Education Initiative at the Center for Justice. The Justice-in-Education Initiative strives not only to make higher education available to a population that has been effectively excluded from it, but also to contribute to the growing movement to end mass incarceration.
