It’s not every day that a student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) takes a course inside a jail.
Once a year, KPU offers ARTS 3200: Inside- Out, which is taught inside the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre in Surrey. Surrey Pretrial is a remand centre for inmates awaiting trial or sentencing related to criminal charges and anywhere from 400 to 500 people are incarcerated there at any given time.
