Florida Coalition for Higher Education in Prison
The Florida Coalition for Higher Education in Prison is dedicated to expanding access to high-quality higher education opportunities for incarcerated individuals across the state of Florida.
We believe that education is a fundamental human right and a powerful tool for personal growth, social mobility, and community transformation.
Through collaborative partnerships with colleges, universities, corrections institutions, and community stakeholders, we create sustainable programs that promote academic achievement, support successful reentry, and reduce recidivism. We are committed to dismantling barriers to education in prison and advocating for policies that recognize the dignity and potential of all learners.
