怀俄明大学的"监狱之路"项目取得重要里程碑，六名被监禁女性将于2026年8月20日成为怀俄明州首批通过大学监狱教育计划获得学士学位的学生1。这些学生在怀俄明女性监狱完成了为期四年的通识学位课程，涵盖哲学、心理学等多个科目1。该项目获得了美国教育部支持，并在2022年被选为第二次机会佩尔实验的约200个参与项目之一1。
研究数据表明参与监狱教育计划能够产生切实效果——参与者再犯率可降低7至15%，同时增加学生获释后的就业机会1。即将毕业的学生之一Taylor Nicks表示："被逮捕时我的儿子才两岁，我已经被关了七年。被逮捕那刻我就对自己和上帝许诺，不会让这段时间被浪费掉。"1下一批男性学生预计将于次年夏天从托灵顿中等监狱毕业1。
The University of Wyoming's "Pathways from Prison" program has enabled six incarcerated women to earn bachelor's degrees, marking the first time such an achievement has been accomplished through a university-based prison education initiative in Wyoming 1. The students completed a four-year liberal arts degree curriculum at the Wyoming Women's Correctional Center in Lusk, studying subjects including philosophy and psychology 1. Their graduation is set for August 20, 2026 1.
The program received support from the U.S. Department of Education, which selected it as one of approximately 200 participating initiatives in the Second Chance Pell Experiment in 2022 1. Research demonstrates that participation in prison education programs reduces recidivism rates by approximately 7 to 15 percent and increases employment opportunities after release 1. One graduate, Taylor Nicks, reflected on her educational journey, stating: "When I got arrested, my son was 2, and I've been locked up seven years now. I made a promise to myself and to God when I got arrested that I wasn't gonna let this time be wasted" 1.
Following this cohort's success, a cohort of male students from the Wyoming Medium Correctional Institution in Torrington is expected to graduate the following summer 1.
