The Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project (OPEEP) is an innovative teaching and learning program designed to bridge differences through college courses in prison settings.
OPEEP has three primary areas of work: initiating and administering a newly accredited embedded degree program located at the Ohio Reformatory for Women (ORW), supporting combined enrollment courses that bring campus and incarcerated students together for credit-bearing classes in prison locations, and developing and offering campus initiatives that seek to inform campus communities on the impacts of mass incarceration in Ohio and the US. Together, we are building prison-to-college pathways through innovative teaching & collaborative learning in Ohio prison settings
OPEEP seeks to provide a route to higher education that is forged through compassion, collective practice and community engagement.
