One of the primary roles that the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison serves is as a network and resource hub for the field. As an organization, we provide space for the higher education in prison community to convene and collaborate, share resources and information, enhance programming, and raise awareness of the many inequities codified by the “justice” system.
