Business School in the Slammer

This weekend, some 50 students will graduate from one of the more intensive business programs in the country. In just four months, these graduates will have gone from knowing very little about business to getting the chance to propose their own business plans to a group of expert investors. The students are all prisoners. They're mostly drug dealers, and should now know enough to turn their skills in illicit transactions into legitimate careers. The program has graduated around 250 inmates, and the recidivism rate is only 2.8 percent, compared to 30 percent for the general prison population. Weekend America's Michael May visited students and teachers at a prison in Bryan, Texas.
