Population Served: Women incarcerated at the Tennessee Prison for Women (TPFW). TPFW students were required to have passed the General Educational Development (GED) test, to have a clean behavioral record and to have at least two years left on their sentence.

Program Description: The LIFE (Lipscomb Initiative for Education) Program provides Lipscomb University students an academic and service-learning experience like few others. Up to 30 students each semester enroll in a liberal arts course held on-site at the Tennessee Prison for Women (TPFW) and study alongside 30 incarcerated people of the prison. The mix of students and specifically designed coursework provides academic and character-building benefits for both students at the prison and students from campus.
