The ACLU is pleased to inform you of our support of SB 1845 concerning inmate education. This legislation establishes the Correctional Education Board to oversee educational activities within prisons. It will have the effect of shifting the management structure of education efforts in our state prison outside of the oversight of the custodial management. It will likely result in educational programs given higher priority and focus within the Department of Corrections.
Education reduces recidivism.
SB 1845 makes good sense.
