  • Pathway to Freedom, a faith-based program at Wrightsville Unit that helps inmates prepare for life after prison, applied for a $1.5 million grant from the state, and the Arkansas Board of Corrections approved pursuing the funds before the July 31 deadline. The organization will learn this fall if it receives the grant—its future services depend on the funding.  Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
