How Not To Let Mistakes Define You

Clip: 8/8/2011 | 6m 20s

Former inmate Anthony Cardenales talks to Bard college students about being successful.

We recently reported on the prison initiative of Bard College, a selective school currently running degree programs in five New York prisons. Skeptics of prison reform should take note of one Anthony Cardenales, a former inmate who did 17 years for homicide. He earned a bachelor's degree through the program, and is working his way up the management ladder at an electronics recycling company.
