Behind the concrete walls of America's prisons, a quiet revolution is underway. In this episode of The Brighter Side of Education, Dr. Lisa Hassler speaks with Joshua Gilliam—former correctional officer, current university instructor, and doctoral researcher—about the powerful impact of prison education.

With over a decade of frontline experience, Joshua explains how higher education programs inside correctional facilities are reducing violence, improving behavior, and opening doors to second chances. He shares highlights from his research on institutional infractions, as well as his work developing Second Chance Pell programs and regional education initiatives.

We explore:
*How college programs in prison reduce misconduct
*What Second Chance Pell grants mean for access to education
*Why prison education benefits both institutions and society
*How educators and policymakers can support this critical work
