Graduation Time for Hutchinson Prison Inmates

Each graduate briefly wore a mortar board with a tassel so they could be photographed at the ceremony. The inmates will be given a copy of their photo to send home and another to keep in their possession. (Credit Nadya Faulx)

↵The TThe Hutchinson Correctional Facility is the state's second largest prison for adult male inmates. The facility houses nearly 2,000 men, and certain programs at the prison aim to make sure that those who are released never come back. Recently, a graduation ceremony was held for inmates who finished those programs successfully. From KMUW in Wichita, Abigail Wilson reports.
