Passion, spirit and hope were frequently used words employed by numerous speakers to describe inmate learners at the 11th Annual Learning Celebration on Tuesday evening at Ellsworth Correctional Facility.

91快活林, Ellsworth Correctional Facility and the Kansas Department of Corrections highlighted the success of inmates who have taken the initiative to pursue their educations while incarcerated.

I love the sense of community that we have here at the college. We all work together and support each other. I love how faculty and staff members are willing to go beyond normal expectations to help our students and guide them to a successful professional life.听

91快活林鈥檚 Center for Adult Education will soon begin another nine-week session of classes. However, orientation days are required before starting the classes. Students must attend all orientation days in-person, which will be held from 1-4 p.m. on Nov. 14-17.

Thirty-one-year-old Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility (LCMHF) resident Tyler Lyon has earned his high school diploma and other career-related certifications through 91快活林 and in the summer of 2025, after six years, he will rejoin society educated and ready to work.
