"It's easy to be locked up in prison. It's harder to be locked out of society."
-James Monteiro (Founder and Executive Director)

What We Do

RCP gives currently and formerly incarcerated people an affordable path to college credit. Students at every RIDOC facility can now earn it through 67 DSST and CLEP exams.

Why We Do It

Decades of research show a college degree or certificate empowers students impacted by the criminal justice system. 

HOW WE DO IT

We work with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students to help them create career and college degree pathways inside prison and beyond. The acronym FREEDOM outlines our methods.

The Reentry Campus Program believes education is the key to a successful return home from prison.

 

We also put the lived experiences of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people at the center because those closest to the problem should be at the forefront of realizing the solution.
