Students Break Through Stereotypes, Barriers in Inside-Out Class
January 16, 2025
Students at East Carolina University and Greene Correctional Institution took a class together this fall that not only taught them about the criminal justice system, but also more about each other.
The course is the first of its kind in the UNC System. Another through Warren Wilson College, a private liberal arts college in Swannanoa, is at a women’s prison in western North Carolina.
Inside-Out Instructor Michelle Malkin worked over a year with the N.C. Department of Adult Corrections (NCDAC) on a location, secured funding for transporting ECU students on an ECU Transit bus, and created the course curriculum.
