Prison College Programs Unlock the Keys to Human Potential
To the Editor:
I feel that this is an excellent alternative and outstanding means of rebuilding our American society. Our foundation has been chipped and cracked by things that should not have happened; crime was an effect of simple mistakes. Our children, namely males have been incarcerated for minute charges of misdemeanors up to felonies. This anecdote would strengthen and reform many prisoners, and give them more hope of functioning productively in society. In my field of study I have seen some unjust acts as well as justice done to Americans.

An Interview with Vice Admiral Joseph D. Stewart, Merchant Marine Academy
To the Editor:
VADM Joe Stewart is one of the finest persons to be in a position of influence on our children. Our daughter was fortunate enough to attend USMMA and he was there constantly. He and Pete Rackett, (KP ‘61, another outstanding leader) ran with the freshmen (plebes)predawn and beat most of them. He showed up everywhere and knew the name of every one on campus AND their parents! He is the definition of “lead by example”, and Acta Non Verba. It is our daughter’s great fortune to have been educated during the tenure of Joseph Stewart at Kings Point, and our great pleasure.
