Instructor Kimberlee Hanson discusses an assignment with student inmates at the Gordon Bernell Charter School in the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque, N.M. on Sept. 23, 2008. The Gordon Bernell Charter School and the Five Keys Charter School in San Francisco, Calif., are among a handful of charter schools nationwide serving student-inmates that the public school system failed to reach. The two schools have turned their state laws on charter schools into opportunities to grant high school diplomas to jail inmates regardless of their age. (AP photo/Heather Clark)AP - Albert Aragon dreams of working in real estate one day, but the 29-year-old jail inmate is a high school dropout who believes employers don't hire people with general equivalency diplomas.
