Writing a graduation speech is a tricky task. Should you be funny, or sincere? Tell a story â or offer advice? For Yusef Pierce, a graduating senior in California, the job of putting together his public address was a bit more challenging. Being inside, I can t really refer to other graduation speeches, Pierce says. He s speaking by phone from inside the California Rehabilitation Center, a medium-security prison in Norco. I was just trying to come up with what sounded like a graduation speech.
He is the first person to graduate with a bachelor s degree from the Inside-Out program at Pitzer College, a liberal arts school outside Los Angeles. In a normal year, the school would bring traditional students by bus to the prison to take classes alongside the students who are in prison.
