Portland State University (PSU)’s Higher Education in Prison (HEP) program seeks to expand rigorous, quality higher education at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility and to support justice-impacted students’ post-release.
The HEP program allows students to work towards a degree while experiencing incarceration and to be able to matriculate to the PSU campus upon release, while receiving the supports needed to be successful. Through its HEP program, PSU seeks to provide a degree pathway for women, trans- identified and gender non-conforming adults in custody (AICs) as the first higher education degree pathway for incarcerated women in Oregon.
PSU Rebound Peer Support Specialists PSU Rebound recognizes that students returning to higher education after incarceration need dedicated resources on campus to help them transition to and successfully navigate college. PSU Rebound Peer Support Specialists are available to connect with prospective and current students returning to education after experiencing incarceration. They help students and prospective students
with admission to PSU, accessing legal services, counseling, tutoring, computer literacy, mentorship, employment, housing, transportation and food security.
