Our inmate students have completed GED or high school and need particular assistance with college writing skills. We would also like to offer other English courses. Classes are small (15-18 men) and students are hard working and engaged. Although teaching responsibilities won't begin until February, the application process can take months. Interested applicants need to respond as soon as possible.
