3. Success Outside: People who take college classes in prison are better prepared to succeed once they get out.
4. Recidivism Rates: Motivated, knowledgable people are less likely to wind up back in prison.
5. Caring: Cornell's Prison Education Program changes the lives of its students, volunteers, teachers, extended families, and beyond.

7. The Good Kind of Viral: Cornell's Giving Day is not just important for the funds it raises for great programs at Cornell, it's also a wonderful way to spread the word far and wide. Make a gift, tell your friends, share the love.
