Inmate programs are provided mostly through the aid of volunteer facilitators. Programs are offered in closed programs, open programs, or group formats. Inmates voluntarily attend the programs, and all programs are separated by gender. The current programs offered are:
HiSET
The Laramie county Detention Center is proud to be an official testing site for HiSET (High School Equivalency Test). These courses are provided by the Laramie County Community College and prepare an inmate to take the HiSET as well as provide the official testing. No college level education is provided through this program.
Volunteers:
Our Volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and are instrumental in allowing inmates the ability to attend programs. Volunteer opportunities range from several times a week to once a month. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can contact a Program Coordinator by phone (307) 633-4785 or through email programs@laramiecounty.com.
