Journal of today’s activities:

This morning I put together a PowerPoint presentation to guide the students who enrolled in my class at San Francisco State University. I’ve built many slide shows to accompany lectures that I deliver. The images I put together for this evening’s class illustrated the concept of prison security levels. I wanted my students to learn how prison security levels influenced prison culture and prisoner adjustment patterns. I treated the students to a guest lecturer during the first half of class. Kenyatta Leal served 20 years of his life in prison, but he now leads a successful career working for RocketSpace. He told his story about advancing through the prison system and then Kenyatta responded to questions from the students. After Kenyatta concluded his presentation about life in different security levels, I lectured on prison security levels.
