Judy Wenzel grew up and raised a family in northern Michigan. She did not expect to spend 25 years in a prison – as a high school teacher. Over those years, the prison population grew to 2.4 million people, many of them convicted for non-violent drug offenses and given very long sentences. Judy is in the process of finishing a book entitled "Light From The Cage: 25 years In A Prison Classroom", and she is eager to dispel some of the prejudice that prisons create. Her students’ backgrounds and gratitude for being able to finish high school create stories that are compelling, often funny and poignant.
