The proposed initiative would establish the Correctional Education Board within the California Department of Corrections (CDC) to manage prison education programs. The board, comprised of 15 representatives from various academic and nonacademic institutions, would be responsible for ensuring that prison education programs meet certain minimum standards. The measure also requires the board to provide every inmate with the opportunity to achieve functional literacy, the equivalent of a high school education, and college-level academic programs for some. The measure further requires that inmates have improved access to vocational training programs.
