On Knox’s prison education program
Megan Shafar, Staff Writer • February 13, 2025
“I am part of the second cohort of the Knox-Henry Hill inside-out class. Every Friday in spring term, we gathered in a circle in the prison’s Classroom 3: a group of Knox students, who we call outside students, and men who are incarcerated at Hill, who we call inside students.

He has taken Knox classes for several terms, including inside-out classes and creative writing. ”
