## Resource

California prisons are slashing vital rehabilitation programs — including job training and education — to cut costs before the state’s budget deadline, leaving inmates scrambling as classes vanish and parole prospects dim. Officials call it a “cost-saving measure,” but advocates warn it undermines the state’s own rehabilitation goals, harming mental health and reentry chances. One inmate described missing twelve days of math class, feeling unseen and behind. Civic education and legislative drafting programs are also disrupted. The disconnect between policy and practice is stark — and the hope remains that these programs will return soon to help people rebuild their lives.
