Higher Education in Prison Programmatic Resources

This document is a technical report detailing the Maryland Reentry Services Roadmap, which aims to enhance reentry outcomes for incarcerated individuals pursuing higher education. The roadmap is designed to support students from incarceration through reentry by integrating academic preparation, peer navigation, and wraparound services. It outlines the role of Reentry Peer Navigators, who provide essential services such as reentry planning and daily check-ins. The report describes the structured model that begins prerelease and extends through campus integration, ensuring that students can navigate college and access necessary resources. Additionally, it discusses the continuous improvement cycle that the University of Baltimore team will engage in to refine the roadmap and its components, which include tools, templates, and tracking systems for implementation across the University System of Maryland. The report emphasizes the importance of tailoring supports to meet the diverse needs of students and the potential for this model to be replicated in other states.
