Correctional education programs

Correctional education programs are educational initiatives provided to inmates within prisons or detention centers. Their goal is to offer academic, vocational, and life skills training to help prisoners develop knowledge and abilities that support their rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society upon release. These programs can include literacy classes, high school equivalency courses, practical job skills, and counseling. By fostering personal growth and reducing recidivism, correctional education aims to improve outcomes for individuals and enhance overall community safety.
