EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE

 

Life is all about second chances. Give inmates a second chance through education. By gaining practical knowledge, prisoners can break the cycle of recidivism and live productive, successful lives.

 

Education is power. Through education, the incarcerated have the opportunity to improve their lives, as well as the lives of their families and the communities they live in.

 

“Studies have shown that inmate participation in education, vocational and job training, prison work skills development, drug abuse, mental health and other treatment programs, all reduce recidivism, significantly.”

- Congressman Bobby Scott
