历史 of the Program

PCC has offered classes and programs to incarcerated learners since the late 1970’s. Learners enrolled in PCC Incarcerated Education Program courses are considered full-time PCC students and all courses are college credit-bearing.

The PCC Incarcerated Education Program's emphasis is to reduce recidivism by imparting skills for incarcerated learners to be successful upon release from prison. Learners become more employable with the completion of educational programming and are encouraged to continue their education. Students are prepared to transition to conventional PCC campuses, 皮马人在线, or other institutions fitting their educational goals.
