Bridge-to-Prison program

The Capilano University Bridge-to-Prison program gives campus-based CapU students (outside students) a unique, hands-on learning experience in a prison classroom where they learn alongside incarcerated FVI-based (inside students) students.

The benefits of this program include providing outside students with opportunities to see inside a prison, to challenge stereotypes about those who are incarcerated and to connect with traditionally isolated groups.

For inside students, this program creates access to an inclusive post-secondary education and allows for critical thinking and lively discussion in a university-like setting. It allows us all to rethink how we teach and learn in diverse and unlikely spaces.
