CJ 325 - PEER Program

The PEER (Prison Experiential Education and Reflection) Program brings students inside a prison one day a week for three hours to have class with prison inmates through a three-phase approach: The first phase involves study of Criminal Lifestyle theory; the second phase involves panel presentations which debate current issues in criminal justice policy; the third involves offenders presenting their own “life histories,” sharing with the class the circumstances and decisions that led to their present incarceration.
