The Internet is an integral component to criminal justice reforms. It is a comprehensive resource, which if leveraged, can be used by those in the criminal justice system to obtain job-readiness certifications, GEDs or their equivalents, driver’s license renewals or any other learning resource that can be used to help reduce recidivism.
“Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for with ardor and attended with diligence.”
