The average person in prison functions at a 6th grade level in reading and a 5th grade level in math and only 2% of the corrections budget is spent on education or vocational programming.
Our IE3© Mentorship Program provides a four tier, holistic approach in addressing recidivism. Our four step process begins at Incarceration and moves through EDUCATION, Employment and Entrepreneurship; our program establishes a purposeful mentor/mentee relationship. |
