GED in jail?

I know this may sound stupid, but does anyone know if you can get your GED in jail if you already have your High School diploma? (Actually I have a BD degree too, however, I heard you can get time reduced if you do get your GED? - Indiana)

Which leads to my next question: Should I enter the military for 4 years or spend 5 1/2 months in jail? - with good behavior. I realize the military offers good benefits and what not, however, I am not married and I will be forced to leave my 3yr old with a mother who is an alcoholic and addicted to drugs....Which I DO NOT want to do. Also, if I go to jail, it will destroy my career in aviation....since I will have jail time on my record along with a misdemeanor. So, I have to choose, my sons well-being or my career.....I know the answer should be obvious, however, I want to be able to provide for him and get my college debt under control! I don't know what to do! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I only have 7 days to make the choice!

I feel I need to clarify some things! I am not a convict of any felony or serious crime! I also DO have the choice between the military or jail. The judge suspended my probation and gave me 60 days to enlist or I will be put back on probation and have to serve the jail sentence. So, In theory, I guess it still is the 60's! And yes, the military does want me. I am a High Grad, with a college degree and I passed the ASVAB with a score of 93 and all of my line scores over 125.

Getting your GED in jail only helps reduce your sentence if you don't already have it; the purpose being to show that your willing to improve yourself (in theory). If you have the choice of military service or jail (which i don't think you would, i agree, not the 60's anymore), then you should go with the military for the benefits, and also to not have a felony record that will follow you to every job you every apply for.

No; you won't be able to get your GED in jail if you already have a diploma.

Are you sure the military will take you with your record? If the army will take you I highly recommend it.

Who says that you can pick the army or jail? This isn't the 60's when people escape to the army, if that actually happens.
