    These men have worked hard to improve themselves and to become contributing members of society. I hope they find good jobs and bright futures when they are released.

    This is a very well constructed news story. The reporting and video blend perfectly and it moved so smoothly I couldn't keep my eyes off it. Excellent work about an important topic. Makes one appreciate their freedoms.

    I did 2 years in this prision it was nothing compared with the time this guys have been doing I was not even born with some of them were already behind bars, I still remember the last day before my release my friend Don Flores he is been in jail since 1978 he went to my bed before we got to sleep gave me a big hug I didn't want to show up emotions but inside myself I was so sad knowing I was living and he was going to stay there 😞 he was about go to the bord I hope they gave him a release day and that he is going to be able to be with his family that is my only wish.
    My advice To the youngsters would to be stay out of trouble go to school get your diploma make your parents prouds.

    I had to drop out of college at 19 when my girlfriend got pregnant and became a corrections officer. I worked at 2 prisons and then accepted the same position at the county jail and I didn't get accepted for financial aid to take college and I definitely didn't have the time. I was only aloud to work the night shift for the first year with an infant baby so if lucky I got 3 hours uninterrupted sleep. I'm glad people get the chance to get college courses even though I didn't get the chance. Perhaps I should have committed crimes and I would be in a better spot now

      Not be bitter , these men have done crimes yes but they also showed they could do positive things and turn a negative into positive! Listen to what your saying your willing to commit a violent crime serve 15 plus years then if lucky you get picked for a college program! Your just one of millions that have pay and work your way to get education but no need to get bitter over the state trying to salvage a few lives , because believe me for everyone of those men in a program like that their is thousands in cells that could still possibly be saved but because lack of programs aren’t ! Plus it’s win win for state if inmate don’t return and becomes a tax payer ! I bet you ask any of those men they do it over again just end up with a few years of college, they all say it isn’t worth it!

      @@richardhorn7688 no English is my 4th language , but did you not insinuate that your life would possibly be better if had done a crime to reap the benefits of free college? All I said why the negative attitude towards these few men who are trying to better themselves and had to prove they worthy of a chance at a few college credits ! I’m middle classes i get little to no help from the govt , when we had our child we were told we qualified for nothing that we earned too much based on tax records , even if for the next 4-6 moths our income dropped by 35% ! We struggle but made it ! But hey if someone could get help let it be why I’m i going to make comments that crime pays!

      @@richardhorn7688 You DID insinuate that you may have ended up in a better place had you committed crimes. Would it have been? I think you would have been miserable. You wouldn’t have been able to be with your girlfriend and your child. Your freedom would have been taken away. It’s a great thing that some prisons are now focusing on rehabilitation and reentry into public life so there is a lower recidivism rate. Most prisons don’t do this, and I feel these guys are grateful that they had this opportunity. I wish all US prisons focused on rehabilitation and reform, but, unfortunately, they don’t.
      And it’s never too late for you. My mom walked the stage at 52 years old… right behind me. Don’t give up on education if it means so much to you. I have two BAs, a Specialization, and a Minor, but I sometimes take classes that sound interesting at my local community college. (If I could, I’d get about five more college degrees, but a community college class every couple of years is all I can afford!) I think I may take Ethics this fall.
