Open Campus
Twenty women at Denver Women’s Correctional Facility will be part of a new bachelor’s degree program later this month. Students in the program, run by Adams State University, will be able to choose between a sociology or business track. The program gives a unique opportunity to women in the state, something that educators and correctional staff say they hope to see more of. Women make up 8% of Colorado’s incarcerated population but this is the first four-year degree available in the state’s prisons for women.
