Moore, Tanya Erzen  aBenefits of college in prison (CIP) programs often center on reduced recidivism and other post-release adjustment outcomes. This article argues for broader recognition of positive outcomes to include well-being, coping, and academic engagement for incarcerated students, noting the specific challenges for female-identifying inmates with backgrounds that often include high levels
of abuse and violence. Using longitudinal data from female-identifying students in a CIP program and comparison data from a matched non-incarcerated sample, improvements in these outcome measures are demonstrated as incarcerated students remain in the program. Importantly, their measures of wellbeing, coping, and academic engagement were significantly better than the
matched non-incarcerated sample for most measures. Further, the possible underlying mechanism for the findings is discussed, linking them to program characteristics that emphasize the development of community, agency, and personalized—in-person education—qualities that are in alignment with trauma-informed practices.  cPennsylvania d2023pp. 3-22tThe Prison JournalvVol. 103, nº 1x 0032-8855  aPRISÃO-ESCOLA  aENSINO  aDIREITOS DO RECLUSO  aREINCIDÊNCIA CRIMINAL  aREINSERÇÃO SOCIAL  a343.8  aMOOREbSarah Y.   4070aERZENbTanya   aPTgRPC  j343.8MOO
