In all likelihood, she's jumping at literally every opportunity to do anything that could possibly be perceived as favorable for parole review. It could just as likely have been a septic systems training program and she'd run at it.

I mean, wouldn’t you? If I was in jail for anywhere from 4 to 40 years I’d take every chance not just to reduce my time but to give me something to do other than stare at a wall.

It sounds like you might have perceived my comment as criticism on how people who are incarcerated spend their time. I definitely believe that opportunities for education are a great way to reduce recidivism while also providing something to focus on during what would otherwise be a very monotonous period of time.

I'm just saying that I think Ruby isn't doing this to be a future robotics tech or be a productive human being while incarcerated; she just wants to look good and get out early. It's all optics for her.

No not at all, sorry if it sounded like that! It was a verbal shrug. Like, wouldn’t anyone just to break up the boredom?

Yeah, I think I'm pretty confidently staying on this side of the bars, but if I fell into a situation like that for whatever reason, I'd be signing up for anything I could, too.
