Reentry Campus Program

Education creates opportunity—no matter where someone starts. Every exam RCP makes accessible represents hope, hard work, and another step toward a brighter future

Access matters. RCP is dedicated to advocating for our students and expanding the reach of our programs in the D.O.C

RIFC and RCP have arrived in Virginia!! 🛫 Kyle (Board member of RCP and co-founder of RICF) and Steven (Chief Operating Officer of RCP and co-founder of RIFC) will be presenting at the “Democracy Under Attack” conference. We can’t wait to share highlights throughout the week.

Every student learns differently. That’s why expanding from DSST alone to both DSST and CLEP is such a game changer, with 67 college credit-by-exam opportunities that RCP offers students.

RCP traveled to Brown School of Public Health RCP and was a part of their second annual conference focusing around criminal justice and health. We emphasized the intersection of health, the criminal justice system and how access to education reduces recidivism.

Across the country, correctional systems are looking for better ways to prepare people for successful reentry. Rhode Island is proving that correctional education can be innovative, rigorous, and transformational.

Rhode Island is setting the national standard for higher education in prison by being the only correctional education program in America offering both CLEP and DSST testing, becoming the first program in the United States to saturate an entire state Department of Corrections with CLEP testing centers in every correctional facility and offering 67 different college credit-by-exam courses. RCP is paving the way for students to have autonomy and succeed!

Rhode Island isn’t following a national model. We’re creating one!

RCP is going to New Orleans October 20–23 for the National Reentry Workforce Collaborative conference, in partnership with Polaris. Workforce development for people coming home from incarceration only works if education is part of the pipeline — that’s the conversation we’re bringing.

Rcp will be presenting at Brown University Health at the intersection of prison higher education and public health. We are excited to come together with other organizations that do amazing advocacy work in Rhode Island!
