The Last Mile
The Last Mile (TLM) is a nonprofit organization that prepares incarcerated individuals for successful re-entry through business and technology training. In 2010, the founders set out to reduce recidivism by teaching highly employable skills that will result in gainful employment. In partnership with CalPIA and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation TLM's computer-coding program is the first of its kind offered inside a US prison. Currently inside five California facilities, the program concentrates on coding as a means to break the cycle of incarceration. TLMWorks, Web Development Shop inside San Quentin, pays market comparable wages to successful graduates. Find out more at TheLastMile.org and TLMWorks.org.
