Arlando Tray JonesArlando Tray Jones, III is serving a life sentence at the Jessup Correctional Institution in Maryland. While in prison, Tray has educated himself through a program offered by Coppin State University, graduating cum laude with a B.A. degree in AppliedPsychology. He went on to take an extensive college-level curriculum in the Humanities through the JCI Scholars Program. He is the author of Eager Street: A Life on the Corner and Behind Bars (2010), and he was featured in Dr. Drew Leder's book, The Soul Knows No Bars (2009).
