Hi everyone,

The Fortune Society corresponds with inmates all over the country. Many
receive our newsletter, the Fortune News, free of charge. I received the
following letter from an inmate in Clinton Correctional Facility in
Dannemora, New York:

"Would you send me all the information about what you have to offer? I
am in the middle of studying a college course on health. A source here
brought to my attention that you have some sort of college courses.

Please send me all the information on college courses you deal with. Is
it free? And/or connect me with other places who deal with a larger
variety of college courses.

Thank you."

Unfortunately, the Fortune Society doesn't have college courses and I
don't have any information to share. Does anyone have advice for this
inmate? How can inmates find college opportunities? How can people on
the outside help inmates find resources?

Cheers,
Eric
