Carceral State Project: Project seeks to grant 'U' degrees inside prison
The United States detains more citizens in prison than in any other country in the world, as well as more people under correctional control than any given moment in American history.
At the University of Michigan, a team of five professors — Heather Ann Thompson, Matt Lassiter, Ruby Tapia, Ashley Lucas and Amanda Alexander — are working together to combat mass incarceration within academia.
