I emailed West Hills College in Coalinga to find out if they offered inmates classes (PVSP and Avenal would both be close by).
Got this email back:
No, we do not do this yet. We are however exploring this as a near future possibility. Please tell me what your interest in this activity may be. .Thanks Anthony Tricoli

Here is the site with his email address and other info. if anyone else would like to tell him 'what your interest in this activity may be' also. It would be a good way of showing them the inmates are there and willing to start learning!

Sometimes, I get sooooo discouraged and more! I waited a bit before even posting my above message. Even so, I later got this email:
Are you an employee of either one of these rganizations? If so, what is your role.
And, after I let him know my son is an inmate. He just now sent me this:
I'll see what we can do about reviewing the offering of some educational programs in the future. This will take so doing however, because we, like all state agencies, are rather short handed due to the State's budget condition. I appreciate you interest and concern, and for your son's best interest,
I hope we can get a program up and running in the prison for the inmates. AT

I don't know, maybe it isn't all that bad, I give up! Sorry for any inconvience. Tried to delete the whole thing but my 30 min was expired!
