A note from the editor and CEA.

Dowdell, John

As you may know, the Correctional Education Board (CEA) Board and the CEA membership approved the transition of the Journal of Correctional Education from a quarterly publication to tri-annual publication schedule at the July 2011 annual meeting. The Journal will be published in April, August and December beginning with this issue.

The reason for the publication change is two-fold. Moving to three issues per year will enable CEA to reduce publication expenses in a challenging economic environment. Further, the move will also enable the Journal to elevate the quality standard of manuscripts being published. We are thankful for the continued support of authors and membership in the transition.
