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."

I'm getting my info from an NIJ https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles/166820.pdfstudy of the programs specific to Orange County.
From that study:
" * The following factors make an inmate ineligible for programs:
maximum security classification, a severe mental illness, and
a jail sentence of less than 60 days."
I question the accuracy of the info in this other website. It tells us that inmates are also ineligible for programs if they have a sentence of more than 60 days.
That is not correct. it doesn't make sense...
Just my opinion
