Accurate and timely records and reports will be maintained about inmates, education staff, individual programs, and the education/training/leisure time programs’ overall operation. Each inmate who completes a program will receive a certificate of completion (and/or otherwise have that completion recorded in his or her file) and will receive other appropriate recognition (for example, graduation ceremonies). Each education/recreation department will operate at a high level of professionalism through continuous self and supervisory evaluation, staff development, and communication. Half-day work/education/recreation programs and the number of inmate participation in those programs will increase. Inmate idleness will decrease.
