The Goucher College commencement is first in decades to confer bachelor’s degrees in a Maryland prison.
. The private liberal arts college, with about 2,000 students on its Baltimore County campus, has offered undergraduate courses for men and women in Maryland prisons since January 2012.The college teaches about 130 students a year in its prison program. Many start with noncredit courses to improve their writing and math skills, then move to full-credit offerings.
Faculty and students face significant constraints inside the prisons. No cellphones are allowed, officials say, and students are not given access to the Internet for email or research. Computers are available for writing assignments, although access to them has been limited at times during the pandemic.“I wrote a lot of papers by hand,” said Nyol Robinson, 45, who finished his degree this spring and also earned the cum laude designation.
She recalled teaching a seminar on masculinity one year that inspired some of her male students to set up a “Men’s Rap” workshop on the subject for inmates who were not in the Goucher program. Mullaney marveled at how those involved were “throwing around terms like ‘toxic masculinity’ and ‘hegemonic masculinity.' Pretty cool to watch.”James Scott, 62, another graduate, said Mullaney’s class left a deep impression on him.
