Abstract

GREATEST NEED WAS EXPRESSED FOR A TRAINING PROGRAM IN AUTO MECHANIC SKILLS, FOLLOWED BY A WIDE VARIETY OF VOCATIONAL AND ACADEMIC PROGRAM NEEDS. THE REPORT ALSO COVERS THE INMATES' EXPRESSED SHORT- AND LONG-RANGE PERSONAL GOALS, THEIR GENERAL NEEDS FOR EDUCATION IMPROVEMENTS, AND SUGGESTS STEPS FOR CREATING INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR INMATES THAT WOULD HAVE BOTH SUBSTANCE AND CONTINUITY.
