programs
Through programs like “Mentoring Moms” and “Been There; Done That” inmates are able to receive life skills classes,
guidance, recovery coaching and mentoring.
Not only do they have access to these resources while they are
incarcerated, they are given access to these resources and required to create a
release plan that will give them everything they need to reintegrate into
society upon their release.
By partnering with
organizations such as Volunteers of America, The Mexican Institute of Greater
Houston, Santa Maria, Goodwill FEXO, Pathway to Recovery and many other
wonderful organizations inmates are given unique opportunities to learn the
skills they will need upon their release.
The newest class offered was a computer literacy
class offered by The Mexican Institute of Greater Houston.
This class will enable these women to effectively navigate through
programs like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint, some of
the most widely used programs in offices today.
Upon completion the students will also be able to easily fill out
applications online during their job search, monitor their children’s use of
the internet and aid their children in homework assignments that they weren’t
able to help with before.
