Question

16．A college education is out．of reach for most state and federal prisoners．California'a San Quentin is one of the few prisons in the country that offers college-level courses．
Jody Lewen has run the prison's college program for over a decade and she's the reason that die Prison University Project exists today．When Lewen joined San Quentin's college program in 1999 as a volunteer instructor，it was run by a small volunteer staff with no budget．At that time，she was a graduate student，with plans to return to academic research．But a year later，when the part-time director suddenly quit，Lewen found herself in charge．
Under Lewen's leadership，the Prison University Project has expanded，now offering 20 classes in English，math，social science and Spanish．Three hundred prisoners enroll （入学） every year，earning college credits which can lead to an associate of arts degree．So far，100 San Quentin prisoners have graduated with associate's degrees and many more have continued their college studies after release．
"This experience really has changed my life．It's given me a lot of tools on how to express myself，"says Charles Spence，who is serving a life sentence in San Quentin．"This program is really rare in the prison setting，so I'm really lucky．"
Research shows that the more education a prisoner has，the less likely he is to return to prison．Lewen says the chance for those with college degrees back into prison is less than 10 percent．
But the Prison University Project receives no government funding．Lewen would like to see college programs in every prison，but without government support，it's not likely to happen any time soon．In the meantime，there's a long waiting list of San Quentin prisoners who want to enroll in the college program．Some day，Lewen hopes to expand her program，making a college education available for most of prisoners at San Quentin．
