DOCUMENTARY: Voices From Tutwiler Prison For Women
Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women inmates get down to the hard business of self-examination in a life-skills class, part of a pilot program offered by J.F. Ingram State Technical College. Ingram State's counseling coordinator Rick Vest and reentry program case manager Amanda Pittman (both at upper right) lead the class.
Wetumpka, Ala. — J.F. Ingram Technical College is a unique part of Alabama’s two-year college system because all of its students are incarcerated. Last month, as part of our prison-reporting partnership with Al.com, WBHM’s Dan Carsen drove down to Ingram’s campus at Julia Tutwiler Prison For Women. He was planning to do a short story on Ingram’s program there, but he came out with so much compelling material, including this one-on-one interview, that he wanted to make a mini-documentary. Here it is. Listen above, and check out photos below.
