Putnam Sheriff’s Office Receives Continuing Adult Corrections Grant

Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has received a grant for Continuing Adult Corrections Education.

Public Information Officer Houston Hamblin said the grant will provide funding for both basic and secondary education.

Basic education classes provide instruction in arithmetic, reading, and writing, targeted to adult prisoners who read below the ninth-grade level. Secondary education classes provide high school-level coursework that generally prepares inmates to take tests, such as the General Education Development (GED) exam.

In addition to the grant, the Jail Facility has also received tablets that will be sued for continuing education purposes.
