Studies prove that education is the best insurance against repeat offenders enduring another term of incarceration. Bard College, a small Private University in New York State, offers the Bard Prison Initiative, or BPI, to interested inmates who have committed serious crimes and are serving lengthy terms. The over 300 enrolled students, are currently serving sentences inside of six different New York State Prisons. BPI provides high level education and results that rival some of the most prestigious colleges. The BPI debate team has won debates against Harvard, Cambridge, and the University of Pennsylvania. The only teams to have ever won against BPI are Brown University and West Point— however BPI has won three matches against West Point. For those who struggle with the notion of state funded, free college for lawbreakers, it’s actually a cost saving program as well as a progressive win. The annual cost of housing a prisoner is around $69,000, where as the BPI is around $9,000 for each student annually. Typically, over 67% of released prisoners are rearrested within three years and over 76% of those released, are rearrested within five years, yet over 97% of BPI Graduates NEVER go back, and over 75% of educated offenders find steady income.
