From Nick:

"The College of Southeastern has partnered with the Florida Department of Corrections to offer incarcerated women a fully accredited Bachelor of Arts degree at Lowell Correctional Institution. This program provides a well-rounded theological education and a unique opportunity for personal growth, fulfillment, and service. Upon completing the four-year degree, graduates will be teamed and sent to different state prisons to serve as field ministers. The program will take four years to complete the education, comprising of fall, spring, winter, and summer semesters, and then a minimum of four more years serving as a Field Minister.

"Southeastern is offering paid faculty positions for adjunct professors to teach the classes. For accreditation purposes, they require teachers to have a minimum of a master's degree in a specific discipline, be in doctrinal agreement with Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and be active members of a local church. They are also looking for volunteer tutors and mentors to work with the participants."
