Abstract

This project explores the transfer experiences of students who are or have been in remand custody in Ontario. Through interviews with students in remand, incarcerated or recently released from custody, educators working in remand facilities, and postsecondary institutions, this research will help identify formal and informal pathways for students while incarcerated and opportunities or barriers to transfer between postsecondary institutions after students complete postsecondary courses while incarcerated. This project will help inform programming and strategies to develop pathway and supportive credit transfer processes for the incarcerated population in Ontario.
