[NLA] incarcerated youth and prisons

[Garrett Murphy]

The President's budget contains the follwing rationale:

“The request does not include separate funding for this program because the
Adult Education State Grants program provides a set-aside of up to 8.25
percent for education of prisoners and other institutionalized needs of
incarcerated individuals.  Correctional education agencies may apply
directly to their States for grants to meet the literacy needs of
incarcerated individuals.”

Since the Adult Education State grants program is level funded and since
many of the States may already be using their full 8.25% for other
correctional and institutionalized populations, this could become a problem.

Why do the FY2003 budget proposals assign no literacy funds for
incarcerated youth or prisons?
