    As a former resident of San Quentin and alumnus of Mt. Tamalpias, I must say that Jody, Mt. Tam, and the former PUP (Prison University Project) program do nothing short of changing lives for the better. I am an example of why educating the incarcerated is important. I just completed my BA in Mathematics, I participate in two Leadership development programs, and I am preparing to begin my journey to earning my MBA. That is all due to being introduced to the higher level of thinking that is required of Mt. Tam students. Thank you to Jody, the Mt. Tam staff, and all the volunteer professors who care enough to educate those who were deemed throw-away citizens.

    When you teach someone how to write, you teach them how to think on a deeper level

    I did corrections for many years. The one thing I like about this is that it shows these people respect.
    When I used to get new inmates and when I would introduce myself to a new block I always had the same speech that I would give.
    I'll introduce myself and then I would tell them.
    first of all you're all men. I don't care what you did to get in here I'm going to treat you like a man if you act like a man. You show me respect and I'll show you respect. Yes there are rules that we all have to follow but I'm not going to bust your balls for the petty's rules. If you have pictures of your family you can keep them up as long as I'm around, if the Warden or sergeant comes around and tells you to remove them then you need to remove them, but as soon as he leaves you can put them back up. I understand that being in here is hard you just want to have your pictures of your family, your girl and your children. Show me respect and I'll show you respect.
    That right there always made a difference I never had a whole bunch of trouble in my blocks. The guys typically respected me and everything ran smoothly.

    Do you think this would be different in juvenile correctional facilities?

    It's sad that I used to ask Chris Cramer questions and today society tells me to apply online and I almost get arrested for cyberstalking.

    Don’t your test scores have to be killer to get into this school? 😋
    Sorry hope y’all like the joke. This program looks amazing. Wish more prisons had real rehabilitation options like this!
    If your day is just Rec and prep and optional library then you’ll learn nothing except how to waste time and try to make friends but hopefully not the wrong ones…
