We recently took a tour of the education classes at Richland Correctional Institution, a men’s prison in Mansfield with about 2,560 incarcerated men.
MANSFIELD, Ohio — AUGUST 23: Incarcerated student and communications major Randy Jones from Cleveland in a classroom where the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections has partnered with Ashland University to offer courses at the prison, August 23, 2023, at the Richland Correctional Institution in Mansfield, Ohio.
“The Level 1 and 2’s, what we decided, are those are our guys who are conducive to learning,” Black said. “Those are the guys who, hopefully, aren’t getting into as many fights.” “This is an investment in the people’s lives to allow them to leave us and not come back,” Sanders said. “Research is very clear that post-secondary achievement does reduce recidivism.”
Bass said he has learned patience, endurance and how to deal with frustration through the classes he has taken. ODRC has partnered with seven Ohio colleges and universities including Ashland University, which offers courses at RiCI. Jones, who was sentenced on July 2, 2015, for involuntary manslaughter, previously earned his bachelor’s at the University of West Florida and his master’s in business administration at Hodges University. Jones hopes to be an inspirational speaker when he gets out of prison and talk to young people about “how to avoid pitfalls.”During fiscal year 2023, 683 students earned apprenticeship certifications, according to ODRC. The apprenticeships offered range from baker to graphic designer to welder.
The students must pass a safety test before being allowed to work on the floor, and an incarcerated person can come to the barber shop twice a month for a haircut.
