It’s not uncommon for inmates at Maine’s county jails to complete their GEDs. But a new program in Madison is taking that one step further. After attending two years of college in the 1990’s, Travis Carrigan decided to return to school. “Just something that I always put off, put off, put off,” says Carrigan. This past fall, he took three online courses through Kennebec Valley Community College. The school provided scholarships that paid for two-thirds of Carrigan’s tuition. He ended up acing all three classes, earning a 4.0.
