[UCIMC-Tech] Fwd: seeking computer expertise at prison

[Jacob Barton]

They make college courses available for inmates at Danville Correctional
Facility.  They're one of the handful of college-in-prison programs in the
country.  They operate as a non-profit, and U of I peeps volunteer their
time teaching.  Rob Scott works with them and is organizing a prison
education conference in the fall.
