OVAE just updated its planning guide, Back to School: A Planning Guide to Continuing Your Education After Prison, a planning guide by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Prisoner Reentry Institute, which OVAE funded. This update reflects the most recent information on federal student financial aid for inmates headed for release. Topics range from setting personal educational goals and committing to a long-term education development plan to finding, accessing, and paying for an education program. Ninety-four percent of adult male inmates approaching release who were interviewed for a recent national evaluation identified education as a personal re-entry need. Free copies of the guide are available in limited quantities from EDPubs by requesting item number ED005088P.
