It was a moving commencement ceremony for the 16 graduating men and their loved ones at the Stateville correctional facility in Crest Hill. Coming from where I came from, the things that I've been through and to be here is indescribable," said graduate Michael Broadway after the ceremony. Around 100 students are enrolled in the Northwestern program across Stateville and the Logan Correctional Center, a women's prison. Newly-minted Northwestern graduate James Soto plans to continue his education in law school. He hopes that this first class of incarcerated students is just the beginning.
