Inmates and Guards Learn Sociology Together at Graterford
In a unique program at State Correctional Institution Graterford, 25 guards and 46 inmates attend a two weekly 75 minute sociology course led by Dr. James J. McKenna Jr. from Villanova. The class grants college credit and focuses on applying lessons to real life. Notable participants include Vaughan Booker, a 29-year-old life prisoner aiming to become an Episcopal priest, and William Miller, 59, who praises the course as the prison’s best development. The program, housed in a large, bright classroom, breaks traditional lines by seating guards and inmates together and teaching through discussion and reports.
