Zero Precent: Hudson Link at Sing Sing
Enjoy a free screening of the award-winning documentary Zero Percent, presented in part by ASU's Prison Education Awareness Club (PEAC) on Thursday, March 27, at 7 p.m. inside room 116 of ASU's Business Administration C Wing. With roughly 60 percent of inmates returning to prisons in the United States, the zero percent of re-incarcerated graduates from the Hudson Link education program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison serves not just as an anomaly, but as a source of inspiration. Following the free screening, there will be a discussion lead by the Hudson Link program director, Sean Pica. For more information, visit ASU events online.
