Inmates at the Coffee County jail now have the opportunity to work their way towards gaining a better job by taking a High School Equivalency Test.
The classes will be taught by Linda Maddox, who also handles those duties in Bedford County as well.
Nearly 5,000 people ages 18-64 in Coffee County do not have a high school education or the equivalent, according to the Tennessee Division of Adult Education.
Public defender John Nichols is responsible for the classes being offered at the jail.
