YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Vera Institute study has shown that providing incarcerated people access to high quality education programs while in prison results in safer communities and reduced taxpayer costs. Michael Woody’s journey is one example of the impact that prison education programs can have. One such program is the Georgetown University Prisons and Justice Initiative.

This story was produced by Morgan Hawkins and Ajani Obaseki of DC International School in Washington, D.C. Instruction provided by SRL Connected Educator Ashley Porter with support from SRL Youth Media Producer Chris Schwalm and Digital Producer Rawan Elbaba.
