CIP has significantly expanded access to postsecondary programs across New York State, with many colleges and universities serving students at volumes near, or even exceeding, their targets.

ISLG’s evaluation of the CIP Initiative has sought to better understand implementation of CIP by documenting the CIP model over time, including: how programs are established and how they operate in correctional facilities, the challenges programs experience and how they navigate those challenges, and the successes programs experience in achieving the aims of the Initiative.
