More than 70 volunteer faculty from 9 Georgia colleges and universities collaborate with the Georgia Department of Corrections to offer accredited college courses inside 4 Georgia prisons, 4 days a week, for the last 11 years.

And each year, as Georgia\u0026#39;s prisons release nearly 16,000 people back into Georgia\u0026#39;s communities, more success stories emerge about transformed people impacting their neighborhoods for the common good.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince 2014, the Writing and Communication Program has supported the program through Brittain Fellows teaching and tutoring inside the prisons, taking students to the prisons for combined classes, and hosting prison faculty training events in the Hall Building. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Organization co-founded by Sarah Higinbotham receives Governor\u0027s Award for the Arts and Humanities."}],"uid":"35090","created_gmt":"2019-11-01 13:38:28","changed_gmt":"2019-11-01 13:41:11","author":"choffman34","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-11-01T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2019-11-01T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"628471":{"id":"628471","type":"image","title":"Common Good Award Picture","body":null,"created":"1572615567","gmt_created":"2019-11-01 13:39:27","changed":"1572615567","gmt_changed":"2019-11-01 13:39:27","alt":"","file":{"fid":"239352","name":"IMG_7899 2.jpeg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/IMG_7899%202.jpeg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/IMG_7899%202.jpeg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":92635,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/IMG_7899%202.jpeg?itok=YB1LgvtA"}},"628473":{"id":"628473","type":"image","title":"Example of Work by Common Good Atlanta Student","body":null,"created":"1572615613","gmt_created":"2019-11-01 13:40:13","changed":"1572615613","gmt_changed":"2019-11-01 13:40:13","alt":"","file":{"fid":"239354","name":"See us differently.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/See%20us%20differently.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/See%20us%20differently.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":37496,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/See%20us%20differently.jpg?itok=8zczNOo8"}}},"media_ids":["628471","628473"],"groups":[{"id":"491031","name":"Writing and Communication Program"}],"categories":[{"id":"42901","name":"Community"}],"keywords":[{"id":"101","name":"Award"},{"id":"11202","name":"Brittain Fellows"},{"id":"182943","name":"civic justice"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":["sarah.higinbotham@emory.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
