DOJ orders prison inspectors to stop considering LGBTQ safety standards A memo obtained by NPR shows the Justice Department is telling inspectors to stop evaluating prisons using standards designed to protect trans and other LGBTQ community members from sexual violence.

This is incredibly dangerous and purposeful cruelty. #prison #higheredinprison #lgbtq

"The Department of Justice has instructed inspectors to stop evaluating prisons and jails using standards designed to protect transgender, intersex and gender-nonconforming people from sexual violence."

A Dearth of Data on Incarcerated Students A recent report from Ithaka S+R found that there’s a lack of consistent, available data on students in prison education programs, including basic metrics like enrollment, retention and completion.

“Better data is essential to realizing the promise of higher ed in prison.”

For @insidehighered.com, @saraweissman.insidehighered.com spotlights our report exploring the data infrastructure of #HigherEdinPrison and what it means for quality education inside. www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...
