Since 1966, Lee College has been a dynamic force in correctional education. The mission of the Lee College Huntsville Center is to provide quality educational opportunities in a unique and challenging environment whereby TDCJ offenders may consider enrollment in a variety of academic and technical programs which attempt to promote enhanced learning leadership based on active and collaborative learning outcomes. During the past two years, the Huntsville Center has developed a mentoring program in conjunction with a new Instructional Technology Lab for the purpose of providing supplemental and specialized instruction in support of its academic and technical programs. The goal of the mentoring program is to train qualified peer tutors who provide instructional assistance to developmental students who must satisfy TSI testing criteria. Instructional Peer Tutors (IPTs) are former and current students who have a personal desire to assist other student offenders meet their educational goals. They provide a wide range of educational assistance in an effort to maximize college resources. While some colleges may define a small percentage of their student body as “at risk” students, the Huntsville Center serves a large number of student offenders who have been drop-outs, and delinquent youths, and have encountered a life of hard knocks including multiple arrests leading to a criminal conviction. According to major recidivism studies, offenders who completed two years of college have a 10% recidivism rate as compared to 60% for those receiving no additional education . . . a tremendous cost savings to the State of Texas and its taxpayers!
