MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Tennessee Higher Education in Prison Initiative (THEI) brings degree-bearing college programs to prisons in Tennessee. The mission of the Tennessee Higher Education Initiative is to provide access to on-site degree-bearing higher education for individuals in Tennessee prisons; to support our students in leading meaningful lives in and outside prison; to prepare our students for successful re-entry; and to help our students become contributing members of our communities.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

THEI is a grassroots, community organization committed to principles of harm reduction, healing, and centering the lived experiences of the people we serve. We fulfill this commitment by recognizing and addressing systemic injustices that have marginalized and stigmatized communities and continue to leave people behind. We engage in reimagining and building towards the world we want to see through systems work, direct service, and through the language and context through which we operate.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Our scholars are the architects of their own futures; we are just here to hand them the tools.
