About BPI
Formed in 1999 to address the evisceration of college-in-prison, the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) defies expectations of who college is for and where it might lead.

One of the most rigorous and effective college-in-prison programs in the country, BPI is now extending its radical intervention in educational inequity outside of prison through the Bard Microcolleges and BardBac. BPI currently enrolls 600 students across eleven campuses.
