DuBOIS, Pa - The Penn State DuBois Student Government Association (SGA) has announced award winners for the 2020-21 academic year through a virtual program that can be viewed here. The SGA Awards Banquet, normally held in person, was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but student leaders and the Office of Student Affairs still wish to recognize award winners for their success in serving the campus and their community.
Director of Student Affairs Rebecca Pennington opened the program by saying, “While this is not the way we intended to celebrate the Student Government Associations Leadership Awards, there is absolutely no doubt that Penn State DuBois has the best students. This is an exciting time of the year to share in celebrating the hard work and dedication that all of you have given to the campus and community and to your dedication to scholarship and learning outside the classroom.”

Evangelos pushes to restore parole to Maine’s justice system

Rep. Jeffrey Evangelos
[Editor’s note: this column was originally published in The Maine Monitor.]
If you are sentenced to a long prison term in Maine, your chances of being released early are almost nil.
In 1976, Maine became the first state to abolish parole entirely, also doing away with the Executive Council, which once shared authority for pardons with the governor. Since then, sentence commutations, another form of early release, have been rare, perhaps non-existent.
Rep. Jeffrey Evangelos (I-Friendship), who is sponsoring the first bill in nearly a decade that would restore parole, says the Department of Corrections cannot find any record of an inmate being released before the original sentence date, minus “good time” credits.
