Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that Casey did
not finish high school and that she has never obtained a GED.
I am not convinced that her taking classes or attending school is a joyous event. It might be an undertaking entirely based on the statutory requirement for probationers who lack a GED.
Sure, for people like us, pursuit of education is a good thing.
It might be seen as a burden by Casey. An "OH NO Don't make me!"
She was incarcerated in a facility which offers those in custody the opportunity to take classes and to get the GED.
I saw nothing to indicate enrollment in that program.
Enrollment includes a gift of extra good/gain time for any inmate who participates.
So why didn't she do it. It's not like she didn't have the time.
Maybe she doesn't want to. Maybe she doesn't care and the system is forcing her to care.
Just an opinion & a thought

I don't know about Florida but most jails, educational programs aren't offered to those in segregation. Ok, I looked it up, even if she wanted it, it wasn't available to Casey..
...."At intake, individuals are assessed for grade level proficiency, vocational skills, and substance abuse. From this assessment, jail staff determine eligibility and placement. Inmates are not eligible for programming if they are classified as a security risk, as having a severe mental illness, or are sentenced for more than 60 days."
