CHICAGO DEFENDER — The Illinois Coalition for Higher Ed in Prison (IL-CHEP) and HEP advocates applaud the work of the task force. “This task force presents an exciting and timely opportunity to create lasting change for higher education in Illinois prisons and demonstrates how Illinois is taking advantage of this crucial juncture to assess HEP statewide and plan for equitable expansion and adequate protections for HEP students and programs,” said Rebecca Ginsburg, founding member of IL-CHEP and the Freedom to Learn (FTL) campaign and director of the University of Illinois’ Education Justice Project.
