To help people in prison develop skills that will translate into success, we create new lessons regularly. We offer those courses to administrators. Thanks to supporting administrators, more than 100,000 people learn from our courses each year

How Teaching in Prison Becomes Effective

People pursue careers in corrections because they want to make a positive contribution to society. To succeed at teaching courses in prison, leaders need great resources. Our team at Prison Professors creates new resources every day. We create strategies that help people understand the importance of:

  • Developing verbal communication skills,
  • Developing better writing skills,
  • Developing better critical-thinking skills,
  • Developing a self-directed work ethic.

When people in jail or prison learn how others overcame struggles or worked to build successful careers, they get inspired.

Our team provides teachers with those resources.

Our Process for Teaching in Prison

Our courses begin with a video interview. Then, we profile people that meet one of several categories:

  • People that lead businesses and create jobs
  • People that served time in prison and emerged successfully
  • People that want to improve outcomes at every stage of America’s criminal justice system.

After creating a video interview of between 50 and 57 minutes, we work with the person we profile in the interview to create an extensive lesson plan.

Each lesson plan includes a series of self-directed lessons. Those lessons include:

  • Vocabulary building exercises
  • Exercises to help people improve writing skills
  • Lessons to challenge people’s critical-thinking skills.

Our lessons teach people how to pursue self-directed learning strategies. Participants find pathways to prepare for higher levels of success through prison and beyond.

Teaching in prison becomes easier with courses from Prison Professors. More than 100,000 people in jails and prisons across America work through our courses.
