| Summary: | Soros Documentary Fund
Why have federal and state governments rushed to cut off funds for effective college-in-prison programs in the U.S.? “The Last Graduation” traces the history of college programs in New York State prisons, from the advent of higher education in prison in the wake of the 1971 Attica uprising to the last graduation from the Marist College program at Greenhaven Prison in 1995. The program eloquently advocates reinstatement of college programs by letting the educators and prisoners tell their own stories. |
