Drexel is pleased to offer an Inside-Out class this spring – Crime and Inequality in the U.S., taught by Professor Richard Frankel. This course explores the history of criminal justice policy in the United States through the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program. The Inside-Out Program seeks to deepen conversations about crime and justice by creating opportunities for dialogue between those on the inside and those on the outside of correctional facilities in the US. The class will meet at the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center (PICC) – half the students will be from Drexel, and have will be individuals incarcerated at the Correctional Center.

Because of the unconventional nature of the class, this session will provide information about the Inside-Out program, about the subject matter of the course, and will cover frequently asked questions about teaching a course at a correctional center. Joining Professor Frankel at the information session will be some recent Kline Law alumni who took an Inside-Out class when it was last offered two years ago.
