Donald is an "old-timer" in prison. He is serving a 50-year sentence for second-degree murder. Correctional programs and services were very different when Donald entered prison in 1963. He often does the inmate orientation at his prison, where he meets with all the incoming inmates and discusses prison life with them. Donald informs the incoming prisoners that there are opportunities to improve themselves in prison if they want to. He tells them how he obtained a bachelor's degree while in prison in 1968. Today, many inmates in Donald's prison desire to get their college degree as well. However, the prison no longer offers this opportunity for inmates.

A) Prisoners lack the prerequisite skills to enter college.
B) Prison systems believe that prisoners do not need the frills of postsecondary schooling.
C) College professors do not want to participate in college programs at prisons.
