Conclusion

Content: In New York, volunteers interested in sharing their knowledge through courses and programs can learn about application processes directly on the NYDOC website. In Florida, the Horizon Communities’ volunteers and donors have created The Horizon Computer Lab—a key resource. There, inmates who have never touched a computer can learn technical skills that are absolutely necessary to thrive once they re-enter society. Inmates who excel in this program help create new course materials, publish an institutional newspaper and support other related programs within the prison. Conclusion
Education programs in prison are helping give the power of knowledge to inmates. The goal is that they use their knowledge to become productive members of society after serving a sentence. Posted In: Blog
