LU-MRRL Lecture Series: Teaching Adult Male Prisoners

Lincoln University offers prisoners at the Jefferson City Correctional Center the opportunity to earn a bachelor of arts degree in liberal studies. Dr. Gary Kowaluk teaches Introduction to Sociology and relies on his past experiences working with mental patients as a peer leader, helping inmates adjust to prison and learning a six-step scheme that represented the Pirandellian "Prison of the Mind." He will provide a description of what it is like to be in prison from a prisoner's point of view.
