Biblical Seminary in Prison – A Real Success Story
In the early 90’s, Louisiana’s Angola Prison was considered the most violent and bloodiest maximum-security prison in the country. After implementing a Bible seminary program at Angola, both inmate-on-inmate and inmate-on-staff assaults reduced by 75%. (The Angola Prison Seminary, a research publication conducted by Baylor University.)Because of its effectiveness in Angola prison, 16 states are now pursuing similar programs in partnership with colleges, universities and seminaries.
Modeled after these other highly successful programs, Paid in Full Oregon will do what has never before been done in Oregon: Provide student inmates with a fully accredited four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Arts with emphasis in Psychology, Social Service, and Leadership through partnership with Corban University and the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC).
OUR MISSION:
TO PROVIDE ADULTS IN CUSTODY WITH AN ACCREDITED BACHELOR’S DEGREE: TRANSFORMING THEM INTO SPIRITUAL & MORAL LEADERS AND IMPACTING THE PRISON POPULATION THROUGHOUT OREGON.
