I don't know if that's true but that's what he said... chinagrove 05-23-2006, 04:58 AM I don't know about the correspondence courses but my dad (he's a CO) said that GA cut the programs for outsiders to come in to the prisons to teach the inmates... I don't know if that's true but that's what he said... I am sure that is why I cannot find anything for Georgia. It is a shame they are destine to fail before they even get started. I will continue my search on courses he can take that he can apply once he is released. So much idle time on his hands is not good for the body or the soul. Georgia needs a wake up call. vada_bing634 05-24-2006, 10:39 PM I am sure that is why I cannot find anything for Georgia. It is a shame they are destine to fail before they even get started.

I know...I'm trying to find courses my fiance can take too...GA's prison system isn't really about rehabilitation if they won't even allow them the chance to better themselves while they're in...hopefully I can find a correspondence course for him. chinagrove 05-25-2006, 07:28 AM I do hate the Georgia prison system. They do not want to give inmates a chance at a better life:mad: Kebela1 06-25-2006, 08:00 AM I have to agree. The only thing that Georgia has to offer is the Victim's Impact, and the Motivation for Change. My son is just now getting his GED. He has been in for 4 years, but the place he is at now, the GED person quit and it took them over 7 months to get another one. If anyone finds anything for our inmates to further their education, please let me know. Education is the key to success! |
