Prison education - interview with Jody Lewen | VIEWPOINT

In 1994, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act barred American prisoners from receiving Pell Grants. As a result, the College Program at San Quentin was founded. Today, Jody Lewen is the Executive Director of the program, and she talks about her work in prison education with Gerard Robinson from the Center for Advancing Opportunity.

We have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, I wish we would talk about this more. I wish more people cared.
