Program to educate incarcerated people costs 40K per graduate?!

[LevelUP]

I agree that this combo would work, but I can't see such a program being realistically implemented, aside from maybe a very low-occupancy prison with very limited computer usage time windows.

In California, there is actually an accredited college located inside a prison.

It would be far cheaper to do ACE credits for 75%+ of the college credits then enroll in college for the final 25% or less.

All you need is a big empty room & an Internet connection.

Private funding can take care of the rest.
