- Abstract
Recent estimates reveal that of the 1,000,000 inmates incarcerated in U.S. jails or prisons, fewer than 20 percent receive some form of educational assistance. Such assistance primarily includes a range of services: Adult Basic Education (ABE), General Education Development (GED), Chapter I, Special Education, college courses, library services, and vocational education/apprenticeship(Steurer, 1990). Given the typical prison inmate's profile, and the U.S. Department of Labor's predictions for the workforce in the year 2000, we need to take a closer look at prison education programs in the nation, and, more specifically, at a systematic approach to planning for vocational education.
