Ronald Reagan Institute Hosts “Reducing Recidivism Through Postsecondary Opportunities” Event

WASHINGTON, DC – The Ronald Reagan Institute’s Center for Civics, Education, and Opportunity (CCEO) convened leaders in education and criminal justice reform on Thursday to highlight structural barriers faced by incarcerated Americans seeking access to postsecondary education. “Reducing Recidivism Through Postsecondary Opportunities” took place on the heels of the Biden Administration’s decision to expand the Second Chance Pell experiment. The program has provided educational opportunities for thousands of justice-impacted individuals who have previously been unable to access federal need-based financial aid.
