Wiser Justice Program
Smarter Justice
The Wiser Justice Program, formerly known as the Higher Education in Prison Program, brings Guilford College instructors to incarcerated women and men who provide liberal arts courses. The five-semester program provides students with an opportunity to receive 30 college credits and take a Certification Exam and preparatory course both for Leadership in in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Peer Support Specialist (PSSP).
Fulfilling Our Mission of Justice One Day at at Time
The students in the Wiser Justice Program are remarkable. The challenges they face inside prison walls are limitless. They have a list of reasons of why not to enroll in an educational program or even stay in the program. Despite the challenges they continue to exceed expectations as they rise and defeat all odds.
Celebrating the Best in Everyone
We give our students the tools necessary to successfully reenter society through advancement of education, and opportunity for employment credentials. We believe all individuals deserve the chance to restore their lives and discover new possibilities.
