Formerly incarcerated students get second chance at education
It’s a windowless room with just enough space to stack two compact sedans side by side. A four-person study table sits in the far-left corner, along with a metal bookshelf containing general-ed textbooks, sociology texts, a stack of old-model laptops and boxes of snacks. When new students step into the room for the first time, the first thing they come across is clerk Julie Correa’s desk, and the first person they see is Chris Kelly.
