Founded in 2012, the Goucher Prison Education Partnership (GPEP) is a division of Goucher College operating in two Maryland state prisons, the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women (MCIW) and the Roxbury Correctional Institution (RCI). Each year, around 130 GPEP students enroll in college classes taught by faculty from Goucher and other local colleges and universities. GPEP students who graduate while in prison earn a Goucher College bachelor’s degree in American Studies. Those who return home before completing their degree can finish on Goucher’s Towson campus or apply their college credits at any accredited college or university in the country.

Starting in 2026, the Quindecim is open to publications across Goucher’s communities & campuses. This page is dedicated to Goucher student writing from MCIW & RCI.
