Dr. Aland Mizell1*Social Entrepreneurship Technology & Business Institute.Abstract The College Education Behind Bars (CEBB) program, launched in the Philippines in 2016, offers incarcerated individuals access to university degrees through a rehabilitative, education-centered model. The current study analyzeshow the CEBB program, in partnership with educational and correctional institutions like SETBI, USEP, DNSC-BUCOR integrates academic instructions, recovery programs, and family engagements to promote reintegration and to reduce recidivism. The stud analyzeshow SETBI successfully partnered with educational and correctional institutions, to launch integrated academic programs, to promote reintegration and to reduce recidivism. The SETBI-USEP-BJMP Model and the SETBI-DNSC-BUCOR model enhance this approach by separating PDL students from the general prison population, fostering a safer, transformation-focused environment. The results reveal that these models were proven effective and scalable as a path to restoration and dignity, CEBB, additionally, conjoins sectors for a sustainable solution to mass incarceration and reintegration challenges.
