Education is capable of changing offender behaviors so they become law-abiding, productive members of the community.
The goal of Educational Services is to provide a system of education offerings that range from basic reading, writing, and computation skills to advanced vocational skills, which also includes training in the areas of social development and life skills. The outcome goal is to provide offenders with the resources for making a worthwhile life. The array of education services provided is intended to meet the wide variety of needs of offenders, including those skills required to be successful as jobholders and as contributing members of their communities.
It is also the guiding philosophy of the Division of Prisons Educational Services Section that these services must be systematically planned and evaluated, and that changes must be made in the way services are provided depending on changes in education technology, demands of the workplace, and characteristics of the offender population.
Education Services provides a wide range of education programming to offenders in all of state prisons. Services include basic education, high school equivalency, life skills, career and vocational and degree programs. Through these partnerships, offenders can obtain basic and postsecondary educational opportunities which will help them find jobs upon release. Additionally, offenders can participate in programming designed to teach them to apply the principles of cognitive behavioral intervention, social skills, mindset and financial management.
The main goals of correctional education are: 1 to equip offenders with skills that help them become responsible and productive individuals who can manage their incarceration, and 2 to provide skills and certifications for employment and other opportunities that will enable them to support themselves and their families and also benefit their communities. There are four youth schools that serve offenders who are years old.
These schools are managed by a principal within the prison and academic services are taught by teachers who are certified by the Department of Public Instruction. Study release allows offenders to participate in academic or vocational training programs away from the correctional facility and not supervised by a correctional employee or an agent of the Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice.
Prison managers must review and approve the request. The Think Smart Program is operated by Prisons as a crime prevention program. Carefully selected and trained minimum custody offenders speak in schools, to civic groups and to other public gatherings relating the personal experiences that led to their confinement.
Criteria for Participation: Minimum custody offenders volunteer to participate in the program and are selected by Prisons staff. Adult offenders may not be brought to a juvenile detention center to speak or provide a Think Smart presentation.
