Inland Journal, March 28, 2019: Education Behind Prison Walls

Doug Nadvornick/SPR

Thursday on the Inland Journal podcast, prison time isn’t always down time for inmates. At the Washington state prison in Airway Heights, hundreds of inmates are studying for their GEDs and a handful will soon collect associate’s degrees through the Community Colleges of Spokane. We’ll go to the prison and talk with the man in charge of the program that helps inmates build skills that will earn them jobs after their terms end. Find the Inland Journal podcast in iTunes, Google Play or NPR One or on the SPR website.
