Several inmates from the U.S. Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania
were at Susquehanna University in nearby Selinsgrove on May 1 to relate
their experiences with white-collar crime to about 80 Susquehanna University
business majors. The inmates are part of a Federal "boot camp" prison program
which involves a "service to society" component through the Federal
Intensive Confinement Center unit. It is one of a very few, and possibly,
the only program of its kind for first-time offenders in the country. Inmates
in the program volunteered to tell students how they took a wrong turn
from respected business persons in their communities to white-collar criminals.
Richard Davis, assistant professor of accounting in Susquehanna University's
Sigmund Weis School of Business, arranged for them to speak to students
taking his legal environmental course which covers criminal law as it relates
to business. Also attending will be students from William Ward's business
and social responsibility class. *
