Prison University Project began at San Quentin in 1996 in a trailer with 2 volunteer instructors, donated textbooks and no budget. Over time, several thousand inmates have participated, many earning Associate Degrees. Now P.U.P. has become Mt. Tamalpais College, an independent accredited college inside the prison. Our guests are the President of Mt. Tam College {Jody Lewen} and a graduate of P.U.P. who earned a degree at San Diego State in Criminal Justice.
