"If we can be successful at Pelican Bay, it can work anywhere," said Tony Wallin-Sato, emphasizing that the new Pell rules could transform education access in prisons across the nation.
"Pelican Bay used to be one of the most violent prisons in the country. Now it's not," described Mark Taylor, a Humboldt official who highlights the positive change in the prison environment due to educational initiatives.
"We're setting an example," said Tony Wallin-Sato, illustrating the significance of Pelican Bay's new program in demonstrating the potential benefits of educational opportunities for incarcerated individuals.
Incarcerated students express enthusiasm about the potential expansion of educational programs, sharing hopes for a master's degree initiative, according to Kari Telaro Rexford, the supervisor of academic instruction.
