Prison education fuels second chances behind bars
Lee College and other institutions run a large scale prison education program in Texas, with 1000+ inmates in LC classrooms. The effort, praised by Dr. George J. Beto and LC president Dr. Richard Strahan, aims to prepare inmates for release through college transfer, technical, and vocational study. Inmates credit the program with real opportunity and a second life, while officials plan expansion to more units and courses.
