Do they have computer skill classes for inmates? It seems to me that this would be very useful for many who will need to come out of prison, perhaps after years, and find a way to join the workforce.
Yes, they did when I retired in 2003. They also used to be able to get college degrees paid for by grants and tax payer dollars. When I first started, I was assigned to Auburn, which is a maximum security prison. Inmates there could get a 4-year degree from Syracuse University for free, while the rest of us would have given our eye-teeth to be able to send our kids there. Thank God George Pataki eliminated that program.
