Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison (Hudson Link) is dedicated to providing college education, life skills and re-entry support to incarcerated students for a positive impact on their own lives, families and communities. Over the past 20 years, Hudson Link has helped more than six hundred men and women earn college degrees while incarcerated. As part of its mission, Hudson Link facilitates degree-track college courses at six correctional facilities in partnership with twelve plus colleges throughout New York state; implements and oversees pre-college courses to prepare incarcerated students to study at the undergraduate level; and provides alumni services for Hudson Link alumni who have been released, including housing assistance, career counseling and continued education services. This grant supports Hudson Link in the continuation and expansion of its work.
