The African-American male population is in an overwhelming state of crisis and in desperate need of constructive interventions. Because of the plight of this population, the entire race suffers as a whole, from generation to generation. Research has shown that less Black men are seeking higher education due to a large number of this group being incarcerated. Formerly, society sent the message that once a prisoner served his sentence and paid his debt to society, he was afforded opportunities to seek higher education. However, new laws have eliminated federal financial aid, leaving little opportunity for self-development and personal improvement. With no financial assistance and guidance through the educational process, African-American males may or may not have interest in seeking higher education after their incarceration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interest of adult African-American men who have been recently released from prison and their views on seeking postsecondary education. Specifically, the study was developed to measure the perceptions of 32 African-American adult male offenders between the ages of 21 and 32 to assess whether or not they feel they would benefit from a college education. The participants, who have been released from a Jefferson County detention center in Birmingham, Alabama, were evaluated based on personal interviews and their responses on the PEEK Assessment survey.
