Prisoners graduated
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the California State Prison on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, made history as 25 of its inmates got their degrees in communication studies.
The epoch-making event was made possible through a partnership between California State University, Los Angeles, and the corrections centre.
It should be noted the event marked the first time a graduation ceremony would be taking place within the walls of the facility.
Secretary Kathleen Allison of the prison said that getting a degree while in prison is an opportunity for the prisoners to get a second chance.
