From the St. Thomas Aquinas College website:
St. Thomas Aquinas College in partnership with Hudson Link presents: A Special Screening and Panel Discussion on “First Degree” a PBS documentary about college inside Sing Sing Prison. How it affects those incarcerated, their families, the educators who teach them, and why we should care.
Date: Thur, Oct 19 Time: 5-7pm
Location: St. Thomas Aquinas Library 125 Route 340,
Sparkill, NY.
FIRST DEGREE is the story of the men of Hudson Link, an organization created by incarcerated individuals that provides a full college degree through local universities. The men and the results are so stunning, they have to be seen to be believed.
