1. Corrections: An Inside-Out
Course (Sociology 2211)
Award-winning
Experiential
Learning Course
Dr. Angela Bryant
Autumn 2016
Service Learning + GE (3 credits)
Inside-Out courses offer a transformative approach to learning, bringing college students to Southeastern
Correctional Complex to study criminal justice in a class with incarcerated individuals. By learning with
“inside” students, Newark campus “outside” students gain a richer understanding of US corrections system,
classical and contemporary, and their impact on individual lives. Participants in this course will see crime and
justice issues from a new perspective, develop new ideas about public service and meaningful citizenship,
overcome stereotypes and myths about prisons and prisoners, and recognize their potential as agents of social
change and as participants in a grass-roots movement to transform public opinion about mass incarceration.
Instructor Dr Bryant has received multiple awards for this innovative course.
