A meaningful difference

According to the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS), more than 650,000 individuals across the U.S. are released from state and federal prisons each year. The agency also reports that more than two-thirds of those released are likely to be re-arrested within three years due to a lack of training, reintegration skills, and employment opportunities.

With ViaPath Technologies Inspire tablets in correctional facilities across the U.S., incarcerated individuals can access the necessary training and other curricula needed in preparation for reintegration and in finding and maintaining employment.
