MCI-Concord, a facility that had no teachers when we went to speak with them, strung us along for over four months, only to eventually reject us outright as well. No reasons were given. I am at a loss to explain why free volunteers would be turned away outright. Many of us had taught in prisons for several years. We were willing to be incredibly flexible. Sadly, it seems...
