Delaware residents now have the opportunity to gain behind-the-scenes access to the state’s prison system through a new educational initiative launching this spring.
The Delaware Department of Correction is currently accepting applications for its Spring 2026 Citizens Academy, a comprehensive six-week educational program scheduled to commence Tuesday, April 14, in New Castle County.
This evening program will run for six consecutive weeks, providing participants with an in-depth understanding of how Delaware’s correctional facilities operate. The academy represents an effort by state corrections officials to increase transparency and community engagement with the prison system.
Delaware residents interested in learning more about the inner workings of the state’s correctional operations can apply for this unique educational opportunity that promises to provide insider access typically not available to the general public.
