Skagit Valley College welding student Kevin Riley welds a bead on a piece of metal as he prepares for his finals 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)
