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/

Report on higher education in prison programs — from Ithaka

  • Posted by Rachel Jones (she/they) on September 8, 2023 at 10:36 am

    “Ithaka S+R recently published the findings and recommendations from our survey of technology in higher education in prison programs. I am excited to share links with you for: the blog post announcement, the full-length report, and a condensed fact-sheet of key findings and figures.

    There is one question specifically about access to library resources on technological devices that I think may be of interest to this group.

    We hope that the snapshot of the landscape of technology access in postsecondary education in prison programs provides people with new insight into what technology exists and is possible in prison education. I hope the data is useful.

    Don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have questions or comments.

    Best wishes,

    Ess
