Program to educate incarcerated people costs 40K per graduate?!

I suspect UoPeople would be too much like a standard CBE degree for prisoners. You still have the issue of turning the prisoners loose into a computer room with access to the internet and no in-person guidance.

And WGU is just a standard CBE program. It wouldn't be easy for students with no prior knowledge - remember, some of these students may only have learned how to read properly in the past few years. There are many considerations beyond sheer financial costs when it comes to educating prisoners.
