University Beyond Bars (UBB)
University Beyond Bars (UBB) provides higher education to incarcerated men on-site at the Monroe Correctional Complex in Monroe, Washington. UBB’s mission is twofold: 1) to transform Washington’s prisons into communities of learning by providing post-secondary education to the incarcerated, particularly to prisoners of color, and 2) to educate the public about prison issues. The men who are incarcerated who have earned their GED can choose from two educational pathways: one offers non-credit, college-level courses and the offers credit-bearing college courses. We have expanded to provide college preparatory instruction as well. Our twice monthly Arts and Lectures series, with guest speakers from a variety of disciplines, is open to all people who are incarcerated at the facility.
