According to one study, participation in some form of prison education reduces rates of re-arrest by over 40%

California is among at least 25 states to have deployed tablets in prisons since 2016. In many states inmates can use them to obtain the equivalent of a secondary-school diploma, to study for professional-licensing tests or, for a few, to take college courses. In a few states prisoners may also use them to watch films, listen to music and contact pre-approved family members. Most of those incarcerated will one day re-enter society, at which point digital-literacy skills will matter even more.
Teaching at maximum-security facilities such as California State Prison, Los Angeles County has been “an exercise in flexibility”, in the words of one professor. Before the pandemic the prison had a dozen desktop computers without internet access; teachers brought lessons in ondrives. School closures due to covid meant lessons went back to being done by mail. Class materials could take over a month to reach inmates. So in late 2021 the prison introduced laptops with internet access.
