Have you checked with your local community college or university for
their on-line catalog? Many institutions have these services now. If you
connect this prisoner to his/her local institution, he/she might
continue there when they are on the outside.  It might depend on how
long the prisoner has left on the inside to make it realistic and on
what their financial capability is.  You may need to be a liaison if
there are any required on campus meetings or tests that can't be
completed on-line.  Most prisons do NOT have access for on-line
computers for inmates so you're probably looking at hard copy courses.

Subject: [FocusOnBasics 285] College correspondence programs

Hi everyone,

I am corresponding with someone currently incarcerated in a New York
State prison. He is interested in enrolling in a Correspondence/Distance
Learning program for college. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Do you know of any decent programs?

Any help would be appreciated. You can respond off-line if you like.

thanks,
John Gordon
