Abstract	Currently, an option of Pell Grant eligibility for the Second Chance Pell (SCP) experiment is priority given to students who will be released within 5 years of enrollment in the college program. Using the 2014 U.S. PIAAC Prison Survey, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), this analysis evaluates the demographics of adults in prison who would be impacted by a 5-year stipulation and the validity of a 5-year threshold on incarcerated adults' enrollment, completion, and interest patterns in higher education. We find that a 5-year priority of Pell Grants for those with fewer than five years, would inevitably exclude individuals with more than five years from accessing higher education -- exacerbating inequities for people of color. Furthermore, the analysis provides no evidence to suggest those closer to release are more likely to be interested in, enroll in, or complete correctional postsecondary programs. (As Provided).
