Corporate Contributions to Education: Interview with Eugene Lang
To the Editor:
I am moved by Mr. Lang’s story. He is one of most kind people in this world. Even though I am Chinese, living far from America, I still hope that one day I can do some good things for society like Mr. Lang.

I am an original Freedom Writer, and if it weren’t for Erin, who knows where I would be right now. I love her to death and she has inspired me and so many others out there...I totally wish there were more like her.

Prison College Programs Unlock the Keys to Human Potential
To the Editor:
The younger prisoners in New York State have a better chance to reform. The state could set age limits, crime status and other guidelines to help in the long run and stop recidivism. Governor Spitzer should find some kind of funding for education considering all the money spent in New York State on prisons.

Rikers High: A Filmmaker’s View of Prison Education
To the Editor:
I recently saw Rikers High documentary and felt really moved. It was great to see moments in which you saw that these were just children, without the kind of guidance and opportunities we all deserve. I especially wanted to see how Andre ended up doing. His talents and imaginary view of the world were extraordinary.

Rikers High: A Filmmaker’s View of Prison Education
To the Editor:
I have been trying to find out if Rikers High will ever be released to the public. I am a teacher in an Alternative HS and this documentary would be a tremendous teaching tool for my students.
