Georgetown students have been going to jail every week for more than 20 years. However, they are not being held for open containers. The volunteers of Georgetown Prison Outreach work with inmates to help them pass their GED high-school equivalency exam, raise their English proficiency skills and most importantly, give them confidence and hope.

“They are shining light in those dark cells,”Jennifer Gainsborough of Penal Reform International said.

They are family, members of the close-knit community that is Georgetown basketball.

“We really know what’s going on,” senior forward Brandon Bowman said of the seniors. “But we are more of a family, so everyone voices their opinion equally.”
