WSTD 3800 - Inside-Out Prison Exchange

Both inside and outside students will read various texts and write response papers throughout the semester. Students will work together to complete a class project. The course will take place at a Minnesota Department of Corrections Institution. This course is open to all Hamline undergraduate students who meet the prerequisite requirements.

Prerequisite: CJFS 1120 or SOCJ 1100 or WSTD 1010 or instructor permission and at least sophomore standing. Additionally, all students must complete an essay and interview to obtain instructor approval.
