CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES: Provides relative to educational programs provided by correctional facilities. (gov sig) (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill requires adult detention facilities in Louisiana to offer both a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) training program and at least one vocational training program as options for inmates. The law also states that participation in specific pilot or reentry programs satisfies this requirement only if those programs include both a GED and a vocational component. By mandating these educational opportunities, the legislation aims to ensure that incarcerated individuals have access to basic academic and job skills training while in custody.
