The Education Justice Project is a project of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign to "build a model college-in-prison program that demonstrates the positive impacts of higher education upon incarcerated people, their families, the communities from which they come, the host institution, and society as a whole." It was founded in 2006 by Education professor Rebecca Ginsburg. Since 2009, the program has provided classes to more than 220 incarcerated people, primarily at Danville Correctional Center.
