Biology Behind Bars... The Prison University Project at San Quentin

www.ibiology.o...
Inmates at San Quentin State Prison share their excitement and gratitude at being enrolled in an introductory biology course as part of the Prison University Project. Before being given this opportunity, many of the students didn’t believe they could attend college. Now they are excited to do experiments, they understand complex biological concepts and they are looking forward to using their newly developed skills to better themselves and society when they are released.
Adam Williamson and Ryan McGorty, the volunteer teachers for the biology course, and Jody Lewen, the Executive Director of the Prison University Project at San Quentin, all express how rewarding it is to work with the students.
