This is an article I read over winter break while waiting to get my wisdom teeth extraction consultation that solidified my decision to take these courses. BTB people especially might connect with it. Former inmates discuss, among other things, how what they read in prison motivated them to pursue higher education and start a prison to school pipeline movement for other formerly encarcerated people at high ed. institutions.
