Project Newgate: The First Five Years

The Minnesota Newgate program uses full-time college work as part of a comprehensive service that includes classes within the correctional institu tion, group counseling, and, upon parole, transfer to a halfway house on the University of Minnesota campus. The program's aim is to orient the student toward a promising career; it provides each participant with in tensive group guidance and support as he undertakes unfamiliar tasks and new roles; and it bridges the transition from the correctional institu tion to the community.
