Answer to Question 1

Answer: The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that only 18.4 percent of the general population had not completed high school or received a general equivalency diploma (GED), whereas 39.7 percent of state prison inmates, 26.5 percent of federal prison inmates, 46.5 percent of jail inmates, and 30.6 percent of probationers had only some high school or less. And another report indicated that only 43 percent of offenders entering prison had obtained a GED or high school diploma, while a comparison of all households versus all prison inmates showed 82 percent of households and 63 percent of prison inmates had a GED, high school diploma, or postsecondary studies.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Inmates are tested on their educational proficiency, as well as interviewed regarding other mental, physical and substance abuse needs. They are then placed in programs that benefit them the most, and reassessed every 6 months to determine the need for placement changes.
