Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project (OPEEP) has three primary areas of work: administering an accredited embedded degree program located at the Ohio Reformatory for Women (ORW), supporting combined enrollment courses that bring campus and incarcerated students together for credit-bearing classes in multiple prison locations, and offering learning communities in three prison facilities.
