If an offender in administrative segregation takes classes by correspondence, why can they get good time credit?
RESPONSE:Pre-70th Legislature offenses are awarded educational credits upon successful completion of a TDCJ sponsored vocational training program, a program of academic education (e.g., GED certificate, Associate Degree or Bachelors Degree), or an on-the-job training program. The completion of any of these programs require an offender’s participation in classroom instruction per Windham Independent School District policy. Administrative Segregation offenders because of their security requirements are unable to participate in classroom instruction.
