Bhusan evaded a direct reply when asked if he would be given a teacher's job to teach the illiterate prisoners.
"We can't rule out that," he said, but added that no decision on allotting work to Prasad was taken yet.
According to his profile in the Lok Sabha website, the former Bihar chief minister is a BA, LLB.
Prasad is currently lodged as an upper division convict in the Birsa Munda Central Jail following his five year long rigorous imprisonment (RI) awarded by a CBI court in a fodder scam case.
