On Tuesday, July 19, 2011, PrisonEducation.com was launched by prison education advocate and federal prisoner Christopher Zoukis. With this launch comes the continued presence of Mr. Zoukis' Prison Education Blog and the soon-to-be debut of the Education Behind Bars Newsletter.
The 25-year-old author of two texts on prison education, contributing editor of the Prison Education Blog, and Editor of the Education Behind Bars Newsletter - has high hopes and expectations for PrisonEducation.com. As he stated, "This has the potential to really effect meaningful change. By providing prison educators with an open venue such as PrisonEducation.com, a community can ensue which - being visible - has the real potential to sway both law makers and the general public to the cause of prison education; a cost-effective method of reducing recidivism."
