freehighered.org The United States has become a nation of educational haves and have-nots. Tuition costs are skyrocketing while real incomes have remained stagnant. Aid programs based on financial need continue to decrease. Students borrow money and then face unmanageable debt when they finish college. Higher education should be available to everyone; it should not be limited by financial considerations. This is the basic and simple idea that underlies the Free Higher Education campaign. This campaign – coordinated by the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute – has been endorsed by numerous academic and labor organizations.

Correctional Association In 1844, some of New York City's leading citizens concerned about brutal conditions in prisons and the lack of support services for former prisoners, convened the first meeting of the Correctional Association of New York. Just two years later, the New York State Legislature passed a law granting the organization the authority to inspect prisons and to report its findings and recommendations for improvements to policy makers and the public. This special legislative privilege enables the Correctional Association to shine a spotlight in the dark corners of the prison system, counter debilitating conditions and promote effective prison programs.
