It is amazing that even the inmates are receiving degrees. But I am very curious to know if any fake diploma maker makes these degrees. I am asking about this because I read it somewhere that the students in prisons that fake degrees.
I am one of the GPEP student volunteers from the main campus, and proud to be so. The students are incredibly talented and driven in the work they do for classes. We go into the prisons to provide the kind of resources the main campus students would have; student-led tutoring sessions, writing help, research help, etc. They can request essaytyper information they might need for assignments so we can find resources for them on the main campus. The women and the men in the prisons can sometimes produce work that's better than the students on the main campus. I learn a lot from them each time I go in about being a better student.
