Class schedules ranged from 1 hour in Idaho, 1 1/2 hours in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, to 8 1/2 hours in California. Schedules varied by facility in some States. In addition to classes, California, Delaware, and Minnesota provided prepared material that inmates can access without class attendance. The majority of reporting systems included aspects of education and job readiness in their programs. Community resource identification, housing options, and rules of post-supervision were included in the majority of program components within the systems.
