Collaboration between Mississippi sheriff’s office, community college aims to educate inmates
SUMMARY: The Tate County Sheriff’s Office has teamed up with Northwest Mississippi Community College to provide educational opportunities to inmates, aiming to reduce the high recidivism rate of 36.8% in Mississippi. Many inmates have only a seventh-grade education, prompting the jail to offer courses for General Educational Development certificates and vocational skills in distribution. The program includes certification for forklift operation and OSHA training, alongside employability skills like resume writing and interview preparation. With hands-on training, inmates are expected to secure jobs upon release, supporting the goal of rehabilitating them into productive members of society.
