Inside Out Prison Exchange
The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, which was founded at Temple University in 1997, is based on the belief that those of us inside and outside of prison, by studying together and working on issues of crime, justice, and related social concerns, can catalyze changes that will make our communities more inclusive, just, and socially sustainable. The mission of The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program is to
increase opportunities for men and women, inside and outside prison, to have transformative learning experiences that emphasize collaboration and dialogue and that invite them to take leadership in addressing crime, justice, and other issues of social concern.
For the last two years, Professor Steven Shankman has taught in the Inside-Out Program through the University of Oregon’s Robert D. Clark Honors College and the Oregon State Penitentiary. His spring 2009 course is entitled “Literature and Ethics: Don Quixote and Dostoevsky’s The Idiot”.
"Inside Looking Out" is a 10-minute documentary on the program shot during the spring 2009 course. Tiffany Kimmel and Jessica Reedy, from UO's School of Journalism and Communication, produced and directed the piece. You can watch it here: http://www.vimeo.com/5193052.
