Six inmates at the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville received their Bachelor’s degrees in business administration thanks to a partnership between Lane College and the Tennessee Higher Education in Prison Initiative.

At graduation day on Nov. 2, the six men made history as both the first in the prison’s history to earn a bachelor’s degree, and the first incarcerated class in the state to earn a degree from a Historically Black College and University.
