    Summary

    Washington state's community and technical colleges teach people in prison so they reenter society ready to contribute. Washington's College in Prisons programs benefit all citizens of Washington state:

    • Offenders who are provided opportunities to gain job skills are much more likely to be successful in the community upon release. A successful ex-offender contributes to the community by working, paying taxes, making restitution payments, and supporting other family members.
    • Educated offenders are statistically less likely to commit additional crimes upon release. There is a direct correlation between education level and recidivism: the higher the education level, the lower the recidivism rate. A decrease in recidivism reduces long-term costs to taxpayers.
    • Education programs are an integral part of the targeted interventions and seamless services” prescribed in the state's Offender Accountability Act. Offenders who attain literacy and job skills are better equipped to find and keep employment, take care of their families, and contribute to their communities.

    Equipment purchased with correctional education grant funds will be used for correctional education and not for other institutional needs. Education equipment may not be used by non-education staff or removed from the education areas unless pre-authorized.
