Explosions in America's incarceration rates have sparked critical examinations of root causes of entry into the criminal justice system. Researchers have predominantly focused on what is known as the school-to-prison pipeline. Solutions have centered on revising school policies and practices targeting certain students for disciplinary sanctions leading to a pattern of discrimination in school suspensions and expulsions. As a shift in perspective, this article explores helping ex-offenders access formal education post-incarceration. Research on the school-to-prison pipeline and correctional education contextualizes the concept of intentionally creating a prison-to-school pipeline to reduce recidivism and improve ex-offender employability, self-esteem, and productivity.
