Pomp and Circumstance, cap and gown, the tassel and mostly that hard earned diploma - College Commencement inside prison has the same elements that all the graduates on ‘the outside’ enjoy.! There is no event more uplifting or motivating then commencement inside a DOCCS facility. Detailed below are vignettes from different commencement exercises, managed by the non-profit Hudson Link in cooperation with DOCCS and several colleges and universities conducting course work inside prison. Celebrate the accomplishment of all involved: the graduates, professors, friends/families, DOCCS, the colleges and especially the positive impact that higher education in the prison brings to everyone in the facilities’ community! CONGRATULATIONS!
