Over the past 25 years, prison education programs that teach STEM skills have been cut, effectively preventing individuals who are incarcerated from entering the STEM workforce after they have served their sentences. In this episode, EDC’s Eden Badertscher and Stan Andrisse of the Prison to Professionals program discuss their efforts to improve STEM learning opportunities in prisons, and how this work is critical to making any meaningful progress toward racial equity and justice. To join the discussion on these topics, email info@STEM-OPS.org
