SUMMARY: When the judge enters a courtroom, the phrase “all rise” signifies respect. At the Coleman unit, inmates experience this moment as more than formality; it symbolizes overcoming adversity. Jica Oliver, a 29-year-old who has been imprisoned for 10 years, recently graduated high school. She and 69 other women from the unit received diplomas through the Goodwill Excel Center, which provides education to incarcerated individuals. The program offers classes needed to graduate and obtain certifications for employment post-release. Encouraged by this milestone, Oliver aims to earn a business degree and explore new technologies, exemplifying that incarceration shouldn't hinder future success. [Applause]

Family and friends celebrated the graduation of their loved ones in a Lockhart prison. 70 women received their high school diploma after completing classes behind bars.
