It was a brain buster in a good way and makes us think of things in a different manner than we may have before. And it opened the floodgates to really want to expand on education and think more. [After class] we bounce ideas off each other when we got back to the dorm.

My thought process is different, it’s changing. It’s a welcome change

Every time I’m excited to come to class. There’s always something I could learn.

It’s just exciting to me

I wake up ecstatic about class.

I really believe in this program. Speaking from someone whose been in and out of jail 5 times, they should’ve had things like this a long time ago

To feel I have a purpose [the course] opened my eyes [and] I want to attend school again

When I come to class I'm just a student. I'm excited [and] eager to learn. I love the way I get! I forget I'm an inmate--I forget these 4 walls. For this one hour, we become human again.
