Prison University Project
The Prison University Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which supports the College Program at San Quentin State Prison, an associate's degree program which is the only on-site college program in any prison in the U.S. state of California, except for Ironwood State Prison. Courses are taught by volunteers, most of them graduate students, instructors, and faculty members from San Francisco Bay Area colleges and universities. Degrees are awarded by Patten University.
The Prison University Project also provides guidance to student inmates, as well as disseminating information on prison education to the public at large.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prison University Project Today )〕 From November 2007 to January 2008 it organized an exhibition at the San Francisco Public Library, including photographs by Heather Rowley of everyday scenes at San Quentin and essays by students in the College Program about their experiences; a similar exhibition on Alcatraz Island ran from June 1 to October 22, 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IS IT SAFE?

== Background ==
The Prison University Project has its origins in the aftermath of the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which made it illegal for prisoners to receive Pell Grants, reducing the number of college degree-granting programs in United States prisons from its peak of over 350 to fewer than 10. The College Program at San Quentin was founded in fall of 1996, based entirely on volunteer teaching and organization. As the College Program expanded and efforts to raise funds increased, the Prison University Project was founded in 2003 "to provide material, administrative, and financial support to the College Program at San Quentin."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History and Background )〕
