Around and About Orange County News, Linda Ivanov, camera, edit, reporter. Imagine that you are enrolled in college, ready to graduate, but the US Government sends you to a prison camp instead.

Santa Ana College sought out former students who were denied their education and their degrees in light of a recent law requiring restitution.
