We publish new self-directed lessons every day to help people in prison build the skills, mindset, and personal record that lead to better outcomes. Even without access to classrooms, anyone can invest in learning. Our lessons are designed to support self-directed growth—encouraging participants to draw a clear connection between the decisions they make today and the opportunities that may follow. Each lesson prompts students to take specific steps that position them for success.
Educators, volunteers, and families can download these lessons for free—or play the accompanying videos in institutional settings. We encourage participants to document how they’re preparing for success. Each lesson includes self-directed questions that prompt reflection and action, allowing individuals to build a body of work that others can see. By opening a profile on Prison Professors Talent, they can publish their responses and use them as part of a self-advocacy strategy—demonstrating how they’re working to earn freedom through personal effort and accountability.
