Abstract
-
In the United States there is roughly 1.2 million individuals incarcerated. These individuals need treatment and/or programs to be rehabilitated. Correctional education (CE) is part of those programs. This research was the preliminary analysis of the CE programs within the state of Oregon. The purpose of this research was to create a baseline for future studies. To accomplish this, the research used the websites of colleges and universities that collaborate with the Oregon Department of Corrections. There were six colleges and universities in Oregon that had launched a collaborated CE program. The websites were chosen as samples for their unique lens. This research used secondary data from the websites to attempt to answer the research question. The websites were analyzed for courses, degrees, age of program, support, goals, data, and employability. The findings were sporadic.
