People in Prison Go to School Thanks to Pell Grants

“We’re trying to shift the culture in prison. And if we have more educated people … then you can change the whole culture of prison.” —Chanda, Academy Program Manager
Education is not just about gaining skills for a job; it’s also about gaining confidence in yourself as someone who has the power to change for the better. With recent changes in the Pell Grant program, and at the state level in places like Oklahoma, more people in prison can now access education—and with it, a path to a better life. This path benefits them and the communities in which they live.


Katie is one of these women. She is incarcerated at a facility in Oklahoma. Until recently, she never thought she’d accomplish anything beyond what’s already landed her in prison.


“I’ve been a meth cook all my life,” she says. “That’s all I knew.”


But now she has graduated from Prison Fellowship Academy(R). The Academy taught her life principles like integrity, responsibility, and productivity. As a natural outgrowth of these principles, she wanted to better herself and her community through education.
