Join Peter Fulks, a Cerro Coso Community College professor and  a leading faculty in the development of the College's Incarcerated Students Education Program, a national leader in face-to-face higher education in prison. Here he takes us through the goals and results of the program, including the remarkable data regarding recidivism, reduction in violence inside the prisons, closing of prisons, and public safety. He talks about the administrative, bureaucratic, and economic challenges that the program has faced, and how this intrepid group of faculty members has managed to expand the program and win over its skeptics. If you're looking for an uplifting episode about education, this is it.
