ANNOUNCER: A CNN viewer wants to know: If Nathaniel Brazill is incarcerated, will he be able to continue his education?

KATHY SLOBOGIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The type of education Nathaniel Brazill receives will depend on where he ends up. When he's sentenced on June 29, it will be up to the judge whether to send him to an adult or a juvenile prison.

If he's sent to a juvenile facility, he'll attend classes designed to provide the same education received in the public schools with the same curriculum, the same testing and teachers from the Department of Education. In an adult prison, he'll have access to a program that offers a voluntary high school equivalency degree as well as vocational classes in 16 different areas ranging from computer technology to cabinet making.
