Now this is the sort of reporting that is most refreshing and encouraging to society. Kudos.
I'm happy for the whole flock of them. They didn't sit and focus on how to returned to a life of crime but instead they became a poster for others to be a better person of themselves and examples to a whole different world around them. 🎈🎈🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉👏👏.
That’s what I liked about working in a California prison. while I was a correctional officer I had a lot of inmates who were going to school who asked me questions about things I would help them study at night. I’ve worked at several other state prisons and I’ve noticed they don’t really have any school programs.
A lot of these guys just never got a chance in life.
Neither did I.
I also have a ton of student loans. Any advice? If I can get to prison, will anybody pay those off and help me advance to my Doctoral?
As a prison psychologist it's one of the major rehabilitation programs we have. Great to see prison officers supporting them.
Such a great story! Its never too late to better yourself!
CONGRATULATIONS💖❤💚💜💙💛
Hopefully the jobs are there for these guys. This is rehabilitation/ correction NOT punishments
This is what incarceration should take more time aiming for: education reduces recidivism.
CONGRATULATIONS for earning a DEGREE ! 💯👍‼️
Yeah! Without loans! If I had only known...I would not be strapped w/ 90k in loans and I could go get my JD.
Should we tell our children or no?!? (Serious inquiries only).
this is such a wonderful thing!
very cool that is what they should be doing in prison trying to embetter themselves
Hopefully these are reformed and deserving people. I lived in Lancaster/Palmdale/Antelope Valley area 20 years, now it is a real toilet. so don't release them there set up to fail.
This is so cool
Good job guys
How they gonna get a job with their record messed up
That is amazing ♥️ haters especially those with racial prejudice disagree and will do anything to keep them from getting hired and turning their lives around.
This is great
This just burns me. Sorry but our kids can't afford to do college yet if locked up, it's right there for you. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for their turn around but honestly look at this unfair difference.
It is dumb. They should teach em to do labor type of work not give them free degree
That’s whats up guys
Congratulations 🎉🎈
While the rest of us pay for our education. Good for them. I hope they really value how fortunate they are. So many college students living in their cars.
Thank you for mentioning that. Although this is GOOD helping inmates get something so valuable like an education, I can't help but think what about the rest of us that never committed a crime, did the right thing to not get in trouble with the law but we're thousands of dollars in debt with our student loans because our education was NOT free, something to think about.....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@Bee 1984 Excellent point. That makes it even more useless. Waste of our "systems" money.
@Bee 1984
Great minds think alike!!!
@Bee 1984 Omg! You speak Spanish???

SO PROUD OF YOU ALL!
Good for them. Inmates in Federal Prison have the same opportunity. ❤️
Congratulations 👌🏽🙏🏾💪🏾👏🏾💯
That's what it takes to get free education in this f up system
Not to be a Debbie downer but they're art degrees in which there isn't many opportunities even regular folks outside the prison struggle to get jobs with their art degrees.
Good stuff all around. Proud of these men.
Bless there hearts ! Keep up the good work
Do they have the student loans that I have? JW.
I would love my Doctoral. If u can get that by being convicted of something? Greeeeeat!
Wait. Can I go to prison and have them pay off the loans I have now? (Serious inquiries only).
Congratulations.. Very happy for them 💐💐
And what will these degrees do for them? Nothing.
Congratulations to all y'all graduating college that is a great accomplishment keep up the good work.
Hoorah! '02 salutes my CSULA HOMIES!
2010 salutes right there with you.
Even if you got a degree and you got a record that's fuked up all that studying was a waste of time
They will be hired because they have experience inside and outside and determined
@@denisecox8683 not if u got a criminal record
@@videogamestutorial Sorry so not true because my daughter dad did 22 years and he graduated from North Western in Illinois from prison with associates and got a full scholarship and has a option if he wants to live on campus while he continues his Bachelor's and has a offer to work in medicine so it's not true at all because it's God who gets the final say and these men have purpose so let God be the one in charge
@@denisecox8683 he has no purpose he a criminal
So not true my daughter dad did 22 years and graduated with honors through Northwestern University in Illinois through prison and he was offered full ride to finish his bachelor and to live on campus and has been offered several positions so it's God who plans their future not man
