LACUNY Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable

The Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable provides a forum for librarians who support, or are interested in supporting, library services for incarcerated people to discuss current issues, broaden their understanding, and raise awareness of information barriers within the carceral system. The Roundtable connects CUNY librarians with other librarian-led groups, such as Prison Library Support Network, that provide direct services to incarcerated people, and serves as a resource for CUNY groups such as the UFS Committee on Higher Education in the Prisons and those working in prison education programs. https://lacunysips.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

Minutes from UFS Committee on Higher Education in the Prisons meeting

  • Posted by Rachel Jones (she/they) on February 20, 2024 at 5:31 pm

    Hello everyone,

    I wanted to report back on the UFS Committee on Higher Education in the Prisons meeting, and share out the minutes.

    There is exciting work going on across CUNY to support incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students. The minutes, attached, are detailed and include lots of information about different CUNY programs, as well as prison education in general.

    I spoke very briefly about our roundtable at the meeting. My goal was to introduce us to other members of the Committee. I hope to go to more meetings in the future, and stay connected. My sense is that there may be opportunities in the future for collaboration.

    Thanks!

    Rachel
