Mat-Su pretrial offers educational programming to include adult basic education, GED, and life skills in
order for individuals to improve interpersonal and academic skills, to successfully function within the
institution, and to enhance community integration and economic self-sufficiency.
As this is a pre-trial facility, classes and programs are presented in shorter seminars of 1 1/2 to 3 hrs,
1 to 3 days in length. Some anger management and parenting series can extend to as long as eight 3 hour
sessions. All programs target 100% of the inmate population. Class offerings are posted weekly in inmate
dorms and inmates are then given the opportunity to request participation in those classes. The library
is also available to them daily for study, reading and educational videos.
Classes are taught by the education coordinator, as-well-as by outside volunteers and contractors. GED
testing is also available to inmates. The education coordinator is the Chief Examiner for Mat-Su Pre-Trial.
Examples of Life Skills Classes include:
