	The prison ~~teaching program~~ -- Jill ~~can fill this in~~		'''Prison Teaching Initiative'''

			The United States currently has, both by fraction of the population and
			absolute number, the highest incarceration rate in the world. This
			is particularly devastating among minority group citizens and the poor:
			10% of college-age black men are currently incarcerated, as just one example.

			As teachers, we have the opportunity to push back against this human-rights
			disaster. Since 2005, department members have taught college credit courses
			in the New Jersey state prison system. The courses are accredited by Mercer
			County Community College and can be used by the student towards a degree anywhere
			in the NJ state college system. We teach courses in mathematics from
			preparation courses through pre-calculus, and have recently added
			a course in environmental science. Together with colleagues at the Pace
			Center, we have formed the Prison Teaching Initiative, PTI, which also
			teaches courses in english and philosophy. Together with our partners, MCCC
			and the College of New Jersey, we have put together a two-year AA program.

			The teaching and administration are carried out entirely by volunteers,
			who are undergraduate students, graduate students, professors, postdoctoral
			fellows, and staff, from astrophysics and many other departments around the
			university, and from the local community. If you would like to get
			involved, please contact Jill Knapp (gk@astro.princeton.edu). The
			committment is the equivalent of about a week of your time.
