Ex-con educates inmates in Augusta jail program
Robert Lovell, a former Maine State Prison inmate, started a makeshift high school at the Augusta City Jail. Volunteers from an ex-offenders group, the University of Maine, and the state education department teach inmates four nights weekly, aiming to raise education levels from eighth grade to diploma readiness and reduce recidivism. Lovell plans to seek federal funds to expand to more county jails while stressing the value of volunteer rather than state-led instruction.

City Clerk Kayshe Campbell warns turnout may be very low, while a cross‑party statement from elected officials defends against charges against Councilman D'Army Bailey as political rhetoric.
