My favorite class: My favorite class at Knox is American Crime & Punishment with Leanne Trapedo-Sims because it completely changed my view of the Prison Industrial Complex. It inspired me to start researching a local prison and higher education in prisons. I even decided to change my major and minor due to the passion I discovered around this topic!
