Prison will take a person's dignity and Humanity way and relegate them to being a number. I was 214579 for 13 and 1/2 years. Education in prison allowed me to regain the humanity and to give me a hope for my future. It helped change my my trajectory.

There's nothing out of the ordinary about second chances, each of us need them. Kayla took the opportunity to pursue education while incarcerated & set herself up for a great career after release. That’s why at
@usedgov we'll continue to support & advocate for#SecondChancePell. pic.twitter.com/cBUvZiTbatKayla's Second Chance Education StoryAccess to education while incarcerated gave Kayla the skills she needs to be employable upon reentry. -

“Prison ed will pave the way for the reintegration of the formerly incarcerated into society. Every time I place a college degree in the hands of a graduate...I don’t see a man & his past; I see a man & the possibilities for his future.”
