GTL’s Inspire tablets provide the most secure educational platforms available; new offering also aligns with U.S. Government Pell Grant initiative for inmates
Reston, Virginia (PRNewsWire) – July 27, 2016 – GTL, the leading provider of correctional technology solutions and an innovator in payment services solutions for government, today announced an educational solution for correctional facilities to deliver a broad range of learning opportunities and courseware to inmates.
According to a 2013 study by the RAND Corporation, inmates who participate in education programs while incarcerated have a 43 percent lower chance of recidivating than those who did not have access to such programs. The same study indicated that inmates who participate in educational programs have 13 percent better odds of landing a job after their release. GTL’s new education management offering helps corrections facilities reduce recidivism by giving them new ways to deliver a wide range of courseware to inmates.
