Our goal at PrisonEducation.com is to increase education in prisons.
Our goal at PrisonEducation.com is to increase education in prisons because it is proven to reduce recidivism, it is better for our economy and it is better for our families and our community overall.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, approximately 95% of prisoners are one day released from correctional custody. This amounts to around 700,000 prisoners being released onto our streets and into our communities each and every year.
Due to the large numbers, and percentage, of prisoners currently and eventually being released from correctional custody, ensuring these ex offenders get employed and become contributing members of society is a critical issue. The well being of communities depends greatly upon the reformation of character - or lack of reformation - that occurs while the offender is in prison.
As such, prison education becomes a critical aspect of our country's economic stability, the safety of our communities, and a higher quality of life for all law-abiding citizens.
