Commons featuring GEORGE DRAKE, former Dean of CC, President of Grinnell 
College, and moving spirit behind Grinnell’s Liberal Arts in Prison Project, 
will reflect on the robust relationship between a sister college in Iowa and 
that state’s Department of Corrections, in which offenders in the medium 
security facility at Newton are able to complete two full years of Grinnell 
credit during their incarceration.
