BPI Alumna Stacy Burnett ’20 Describes the Value of Her BPI College Education and Calls for New York State to Reinstate Tuition Assistance for Incarcerated Students
“Expanding prison education opportunities through TAP restoration would have an exponentially beneficial outcome and substantially improve the quality of life for all New Yorkers,” writes Burnett. “My education allows me to remain financially secure at a time many people are struggling. . . . My education has made me an empathetic, diligent and highly efficient professional. Bard Prison Initiative sets high expectations for its students, and when we return to our communities, we bring those lessons home with us.”
