HAYWARD -- At a graduation commencement ceremony at Cal State East Bay: a story of redemption. A former San Quentin inmate received his bachelor's degree after spending 20 years in prison thanks to a program called Project Rebound.
"After I took my fall, I got up and I got back on that path and now I'm going down that road that I should have been on 20, 30 years ago," he said Sunday. Jones wasn't unique. Another former inmate, Alex Harris, also graduated Sunday via the Project Rebound program. "These people are so interested in an academic life," she said. "And it's been very exciting to have them on campus and see them embrace the university."
