Model Learning Center Graduation
The Montgomery County Correctional Facility has provided an adult education program to inmates since 1978. Initially, the focus of the program was General Education Diploma instruction. Over the past 30 years, the program has evolved to meet the needs of the changing demographic of the offender population. Specifically, we have seen a decrease in the academic skill level of program participants and a corresponding increase in the number of people who have not graduated from high school. Consequently, we have increased the number of remedial education programs we offer. In addition, we have seen increases in the number of youthful offenders and inmates who do not speak English as their first language. In response, we have increased the number of programs for youthful offenders and added additional ESOL classes.
