11.1 Types of Programs

Funds made available under Section 222(a)(1) of this Title shall be used to provide programs and services to incarcerated and other institutionalized adults under the custody and supervision of three state agencies serving this population: The Ohio Departments of Rehabilitation and Correction, Mental Health, and Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities.

Programs and services supported with these funds shall be used to pay for the cost of corrections education and education for other institutionalized individuals, including academic programs for:

(1) basic education;

(2) special education programs as determined by the state;

(3) English literacy programs; and

(4) secondary school credit programs.

11.2 Priority of Services

Funds used under this section to carry out an instructional program for criminal offenders in a correctional institution will give priority to serving individuals who are likely to leave the correctional institution within five years of participation in the program. This requirement is consistent with the policy of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections for the placement of individuals under its supervision into education programs, including those served with funds provided under this section.

11.3 Types of Corrections Institutional Settings

For purposes of authorizing the use of funds available under this section, a correctional institution means any prison, jail, reformatory, work farm, detention center, or halfway house, community-based rehabilitation center, or other similar institution designed for the confinement or rehabilitation of criminal offenders.

11.4 Spending Limitation

For activities authorized under Section 225 of this Title, the State will not expend more than ten (10) percent of the 82.5 percent of the total federal grant awarded to the State.
