Prison Professors

Impact Metrics

Book Reports Published

Even without classrooms or teachers, a person can choose to learn. We encourage people in prison to read intentionally and reflect on what they learn by publishing book reports on their profile. These reports explain why they chose the book, what they learned, and how it supports their path to success after release. Whether they're in general population or on lockdown, reading becomes a tool for personal growth—and the book reports become part of a documented record of self-directed learning. This growing archive helps stakeholders see their potential, while strengthening their ability to advocate for themselves through effort and discipline.

Learning Through Reading

Self-Directed Education

Book reports demonstrate a commitment to self-education and personal growth. By choosing books intentionally and reflecting on their lessons, participants show that they're actively seeking knowledge and applying it to their lives. Each book report adds to a growing body of evidence that someone is serious about preparation and transformation—making a stronger case for opportunity and second chances.
