Well thanks to the University of Utah's Prison education project or UPEP... inmates at the state prison were able to have a special viewing party of the Eclipse on Saturday. UPEP run courses for inmates in subjects like history, arts, English... and are funded by government support, philanthropic organizations, and individual donors.
