Jimmy's Aspirations:

Emerging from the confines of unjust incarceration, Jimmy, at 62, has dreams that defy the odds. A graduate of the Northwestern Prison Education Program with a degree in science, he has taken the LSAT and aspires to attend law school at Northwestern University and create legislation for early release.
