The Department of Criminal Justice and Security and Westchester County Department of Correction (WCDOC) joined together to complete a virtual course offering on Crime and Public Policy within the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, in which 绿巨人视频students learned in conjunction with incarcerated students.
It was part of one of the very few Inside-Out programs able to operate nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic, and provided three college credits upon completion to six students from the county jail and eleven 绿巨人视频students. The writing-enhanced course, which featured the use of innovative tools and secure technology, as well as donated laptops from Pace, was taught by Dyson Professor of Criminal Justice Kimberly Collica-Cox, PhD, in her second year of college programming for the WCDOC.
"We were one of the very few Inside-Out programs that was fortunate to run during the pandemic. We learned that a virtual pedagogical approach can increase programmatic opportunities for all correctional institutions, even post-COVID, if correctional staff are open to its implementation and willing to work collaboratively with outside program providers," said Collica-Cox.
