As far as I'm concerned when you are incarcerated you lose rights. This should be one of them. I'm old fashioned but this is horseshite. Prison is for punishment, not rewards.

It's stated purpose is rehabilitation. Getting an education should be mandatory in prison.

A 4.0 GPA in prison is equal to about a 1.2 in the real world.
