Impact Metrics

Profiles Built by Students

We can't control who chooses to do the work—but we can create the tools, tell the stories, and lead by example. This metric tracks how many individuals have built a personal profile on Prison Professors Profiles—documenting how they're using their time in prison to grow, reflect, and prepare for success. Many people inside live without hope or direction. Our mission is to reach, teach, and inspire them to take action—and show why they are worthy candidates for opportunity, trust, and liberty through merit. We're working toward 10,000 profiles. We know that reaching that goal means overcoming real obstacles, including a slow-moving bureaucracy. But with the data we collect in the years ahead, we'll be able to demonstrate how self-directed programs improve outcomes—and make the case for policies that reward personal growth and allow more people to earn freedom through merit.
