A Making a Difference Event
A documentary and Q&A about one university’s 20-year struggle to provide tuition-free,
full-time higher education to incarcerated students.
This 90-minute seminar shares Bard’s Emmy-award nominated documentary,
College Behind Bars, which takes an intimate look at the lives and experiences of a
dozen Bard Prison students and their families.
College Behind Bars confronts and challenges conventional wisdom about the
purpose of both education and incarceration.
