"... As usual with Bikel, there is a minimum of editorializing, a maximum of alert sympathy for everybody talked to, and a startled eye, a kind of exacerbated witness, on unruly emotions and lunatic systems. We emerge from When Kids Get Life, as from each of her previous films, not merely indignant, but injured in our humanism."

The Pendulum Foundation is proud to announce our college scholarship programs and the Hunter S. Thompson College scholarship programs for incarcerated individuals and for when they get out.

Juveniles and others sentenced to life terms are not eligible to receive a grant to pay for college tuition, books and supplies. These costs must be paid privately. All money donated to the Pendulum Scholarship Fund goes directly to pay for a prisoner's tuition, books and supplies. A donation of $375 will pay the entire cost of tuition, books and supplies for a prisoner to take a 3 credit hour college course. A donation of $1,500 allows a prisoner to enroll for the maximum number of courses (4 classes or 12 Credit Hours) typically offered at prisons in Colorado.
