If you've ever dreamed of writing a book, local educator and author Kyla Mora knows how you feel. The excitement, the creativity, the passion -- and then the crush of realizing that once it's written, you've got to try to publish.

The majority of those would never, ever think of an adult man in a prison. And yet, for many, the education available through the prison system is the best option they've ever had. What is it like to lead a class in a prison? To build a curriculum from the ground up? To develop new ways to reach people who may have never thought education could do anything for them? If you're curious, award-winning educator Jimmy Perry can show you. A certified welder-turned-instructor who pioneered a vocational program within the Texas Department of Corrective Justice, he spent years working with prisoners to teach them useful life skills: from carpentry to flooring, from math and measuring skills to fabricating and welding. You'll learn about a side of education you may have never considered, and walk away with a new appreciation of what a simple certification can do to change someone's life forever.
