San Quentin prison seems to be doing a great job at engaging prisoners. The inmates write beautiful answers on Quora too.

I thought they weren't allowed internet access?

>Of course, as the class is taught inside a prison, it has an extra obstacle—inmates don't have access to the Internet at all, and their only time spent with a computer is inside the classroom.

They are given printed quora questions by Last Mile staff, then they write the answers longhand. It's old school.
Thats right. The answers come with a standard footer as well saying that they do not have internet access and that the prison staff was proofread the answer before posting.
