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 an accredited BA 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 sustained academic programming at our partner prison facilities. 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.
