Inside the box: college in prison

Author(s): 
Matthew Junge*, University of Washington
Talk Abstract: 
Prisoners that receive college education in prison have drastically lower recidivism rates. Mathematicians are in short supply here, and can make a great difference. I will discuss my experience designing and teaching the first-ever for-credit math course in the Washington Corrections Center for Women.
