  • MINNESOTA Access to Continued Education for People in the Criminal Justice System
    MINNESOTA Access to Continued Education for People in the Criminal Justice System ostsecondary education has been proven to reduce recidivism and promote more successful transitions back into communities for adults returning from incarceration.1 However, currently incarcerated and reentering adults often face barriers to receiving high-quality postsecondary education. The Council Pof State Governments Justice Center, with support from Lumina Foundation, conducted an intensive 50-state scan and survey of the statutory, financial, and administrative policies and practices that impact the provision of postsecondary education for this population. This fact sheet outlines the research findings for Minnesota. HOW ARE SERVICES FUNDED? Correctional Agency Funding The Minnesota legislature may appropriate state funds for college programs in state correctional facilities.2 There are restrictions preventing state funding from being used for college programs beyond an associate of arts degree for people convicted of murder.3 Postsecondary education is funded through federal sources—such as the Second Chance Pell pilot program4—and privately funded foundation grants.5 Minnesota is not using Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act or Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act funds for postsecondary education.6 State Financial Aid Minnesota financial aid programs do not have any statutory, regulatory, or policy restrictions that prevent people who are currently incarcerated from receiving aid. Further, the Minnesota State Grant addresses the

Before embarking on a health care career path, take a few minutes to think about your own abilities, needs and hopes. Here are some useful questions to ask yourself: Do You Like to Deal With People? ▪ One of the first questions you should ask yourself is how much you want to deal with people. For instance, it is important for nurses, pediatricians and occupational therapists to have a warm and caring personality. By contrast, other health careers (like clinical laboratory scientist, pathologist or medical illustrator) involve little or no personal contact with patients. Are You Comfortable With Science? ▪ Many (but not all) health careers require you to be a strong science student. All health careers involve some laboratory science, and some programs demand intensive work in the hard sciences (i.e., chemistry, physics, biology). Are You Prepared to Keep Up with Developments in Your Field? ▪ Good health care practitioners are committed to giving their patients the best care available. That means, in order to keep up with the latest developments in your field, you’ll need to continue studying and learning throughout your career.
