Operation U-Turn is a non-profit organization funded
by
the Associated Students of Humboldt State University,
in the vicinity of Pelican Bay.
The organization is seeking donations to help inmates purchase textbooks
for college courses. These courses, leading to an A.A. degree, are offered
by the Coastline Community College distance-learning program. The courses
are tuition-free to indigent students, but the textbooks are not.
Studies show that recidivism rates decrease proportionately
with levels of education.
No less importantly, education opens opportunities
most prisoners would never have envisaged. We urge you to help Operation
U-Turn in its textbook drive with your
tax-deductible donation. For more information, email
uturn@humboldt.edu, or call (707) 826-3795.
