Deputy Warden Scott Noble, Ryan Correctional Facility for Men
As part of a nationwide program, Inside Out is a unique, experiential opportunity for college students in criminal justice or related fields to take a series of courses with students on the inside of a correctional facility. It seeks to create opportunities for dialogue and transform ways of thinking about crime and justice, as well as expose inside students to the benefits of higher education and preparing them for life on the outside.
