You know how much I love TED Talks, and with the article, I love them even more.
Check out the link below that describes an innovative prison in California where more than 1200 of the inmates have earned college degrees.
Amazing!
TED took their cameras into the prison and the stories that are shared are powerful.

There are four videos in this link. If you're pressed for time, choose the 2nd and 3rd. They're five minutes each. The first one is an interview of Sir Richard Branson, and it's rather long at 18 minutes, but I thought it was interesting that he hires ex-cons in his businesses and encourages others to do so. The last video is of a woman who works at the prison and her talk is on forgiveness, after her son was brutally murdered.
My recommendations for the viewing order of the videos: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 1st
Enjoy.
