At this time Indiana prisons are unsafe due to all the staff cuts which J. David Donahue implemented during his time as Commissioner. Reentry at Plainfield is a game. Also, the Education program with Oakland City University is a farce and needs to be looked into by educators from the General Assembly. (When Ball State University, Martin University and Indiana State University were teaching at the prisons, their programs were much stricter, and more like those which are expected at college campus. The work more demanding, teachers better, degrees which were earned were useful to those who were released in gaining legal employment.) John Nally (IDOC head of Education) is on the OCU board and has had the courses so watered down that it is no way prepares a person to actually be successful in a real college setting. Last, go back to using Institutional teachers to teach GED education in the adult facilities, the computer programs can be manipulated.
