ID: when life hands you lemons

I remember this classroom. From the Twin Falls Times-News:
Inmates gain self-confidence, pride through GED program

When the door slams behind you it's obvious you're in jail...

...Annette Jenkins sits in stark contrast to the inside of the Twin Falls County Jail. Jenkins -- a General Education Development (GED) instructor at the College of Southern Idaho -- has been helping inmates earn their GEDs for more than seven years.

It feels like an awkward place for a classroom, but to many in the county jail it's an opportunity they have been waiting for.


Best wishes to all of them.
