A $150,000 grant to the University of Mississippi’s Prison-to-College Pipeline Program will aid expand course offerings and services to those looking to transform their lives during and after incarceration.
The Laughing Gull Foundation, a Durham, North Carolina organization committed to justice issues in the South, awarded the grant. The funding will support the university’s efforts to send educators with humanities-based college-level curricula to teach men at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman in Sunflower County.
