Skagit Valley College welding student Kevin Riley gets ready to practice some welds in preparation for his end of quarter test on March 13, 2014 in Mount Vernon, Wash. The welding shop in Skagit Valley College's Reeves Hall is a far cry from the prison cell Kevin Riley spent about five years in until his January 2012 release. "It was more of a personal goal," Riley said of going back to school. "I think I had a chip on my shoulder and just wanted to prove that, at 43, I could do this. I wanted to be a good example for my daughter." (AP Photo/The Skagit Valley Herald, Scott Terrell)
