what is project rebound for inmates
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) â An innovative program at San Francisco State University has been helping former inmates earn their college degrees as soon as they are released from prison for more than four decades. Project Rebound was created in 1967 by Professor John Irwin, who was a former inmate turned scholar. KCBS In Depth co-hosts Jane McMillan and Ed Cavagnaro spoke with Project Rebound Director Jason Bell, who is also a former inmate and became a college graduate through the project. Bell said, that in short, itâs about former prisoners helping each other.
