Is there any rule anywhere in the BOP handbook (Fed) that says the institutions have to give Cleps, or facilitatie an inmate's education? I'm trying to do research about this for my hubby. Thanks.

No, they don't have to provide education. Heck, they barely provide needed medical care.
The only education at a federal prison is a GED.

I was wondering if anyone had heard of a place that gives used college textbooks to inmates?

Thank you!

My husband is taking his CDL in a federal prison right now. I am not sure what if any other federal prisons offer this.

Try a search for "BOOKS 4 PRISONERS" also known as MONKEY RETREAT bookstore. It's refrenced on prisonlegalnews.org
OR check the "OFFICE OF CORRECTIONAL EDUCATION - US DEPT of EDUCATION"
I'm going to search as well. It's a great idea.
