Thanks to Majority Leader Schumer (D-NY) @SenSchumer, BPI has received $4.5M in funding that will help expand the place of education, of hope, and a commitment to people's futures within New York’s criminal justice system and its prisons.
As you likely are aware by now, state prisons in New York have fallen into crisis over the past week.

Proud to sponsor BPI Homecoming and celebrate 25 years of @BPIBard! Even when conventional wisdom was most hostile and success least likely, BPI dared to DREAM and defeat the odds by providing high quality, rigorous liberal arts education in prison.

Marcelino Rodriguez had no debt when he was released from prison in 2019 — and no credit. He quickly took on debt in an attempt to build more credit.
