Education Behind |
|
Limited education among inmates is high in the county jail. Therefore, in an effort to help inmates work toward at least a General Education Diploma (GED), the Corrections Bureau partnered with Tallahassee Community College to begin a program geared toward helping inmates advance educationally. Inmates are tested to determine their level of achievement. TCC instructors then prepare individual plans appropriate to the inmates' level of education. Each week, an instructor visits the jail to teach, monitor, and assess the progress of the inmates and their goals. While some are not incarcerated long enough to complete the program and earn a GED, they are encouraged to continue their educations through the TCC Quincy House, which is easily accessible and is located in downtown Quincy.
