The growing evidence of the myriad benefits of prison education programs helps to explain why Congress took historic, bipartisan legislative action to reverse a ban on Pell Grants for incarcerated learners. Effective July 1, 2023, eligible incarcerated people can access federal Pell Grant funding for the first time in almost 30 years. The New England Commission on the Future of Higher Education ("the Commission") was a regional endeavor comprised of leaders from corrections, higher education, re-entry, workforce development and government; approximately 20% of its membership were system-involved advocates and leaders. The Commission engaged in a series of discussions from October 2022 to June 2023 about expanding access to high-quality postsecondary and career pathways for the region's incarcerated learners. Commission members crafted 15 recommendations that fall into two primary categories: (1) "Prison-based" recommendations that are focused on improving the learner experience during incarceration, from intake through release and re-entry; and (2) "Community-based" recommendations that necessitate sustained and regular collaboration among key stakeholders on both the statewide and regional levels. This report presents the 15 recommendations of the Commission. The sections that precede the recommendations provide context and an overview of opportunities and challenges, both national and regional, relevant to efforts to expand postsecondary prison education. The restoration of Pell Grants for incarcerated learners will heighten the imperative to work strategically to support higher education in prison, and successful implementation of the Commission's recommendations in this context will require sustained collaboration among the many partners who came together over its duration.
