Self-employment is one of the few viable options for most prison inmates upon their release. Without adequate training, parolees can easily get caught up in the same routines that landed them in prison in the first place. It’s a vicious cycle that can and should be broken.
The H.O.P.E. Foundation exists to aide our prisoners educate themselves to a better way of life. Through our comprehensive system of classroom-style training, inmates receive the skills they need to be productive and self-sufficient upon release while learning in a shared-environment setting. Studies focus on the areas of computer and Internet literacy, computerized accounting, business plan development, and the opportunity to expand skill sets through frequent workshops.
