Alt Credits & Degree For An Inmate

[rachel83az]

They also have digital tablets, but I am not sure if inmates can be given access to college or alt credit websites to study from. 

I missed this line before. He should see if he can go to Sophia.org. That might be the only alt-credit he can get because most of the others require access to a webcam for proctoring purposes. He might be able to do Davar, too. They let you use a local proctor, which in this case would be a sympathetic corrections officer.

If he can access Sophia & Davar, he'd be able to get a business degree (or at least most of one) while inside. Having a business degree as a mechanic would actually be a good idea. A lot of mechanics go on to open their own shops, and having a basic understanding of how to run a business properly would be crucial.

He could also use ONU ( https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ol...University ) for at least some of his gen eds. Assuming, of course, he can get access.

AFAIK, if the sites are blocked, you can sometimes petition to have them unblocked. It might be a long and arduous process, but it could be worth it. I also think that some prisons run an exclusionary web filter while others run an inclusionary one. I.E., at some prisons, they block "everything except these specific sites" and at other prisons they allow "everything except these sites and sites that match these words" and there's no way to tell which is which without trying to go to these sites.
