🎉 EOPSS congratulates @MACorrections and @TLM on the graduation of the first coding cohort at MCI-Shirley.

💻 Over the last year, incarcerated students have built valuable web development and software engineering skills. Innovative programs like The Last Mile are essential to DOC’s efforts to advance rehabilitation and support successful reentry. We commend the graduates for their dedication.

The Healey-Driscoll Administration’s H1 FY26 budget proposes $10M, including $7 million for Pre- and Post-Release Services grant programs, to provide incarcerated individuals access to programming and in-demand job skill training. This investment reflects the administration's deep commitment to reducing recidivism and promoting public safety statewide.

If someone has the knowledge and the skills, why can’t they obtain employment?

With fair chance hiring practices, workforces like @Pacers are changing the status quo and giving opportunities to talented people who would otherwise be denied employment.

Watch now!

“Hopefully the @Pacers set an example of what is possible for other teams to really follow and impact their communities.” - Chris Redlitz, co-founder of The Last Mile.

We’re proud to support @TLM in making a positive impact in our community and beyond.

“Quitting is not an option.”

When someone prioritizes their education over their freedom, they truly believe in themselves.

Billie exemplifies the dedication and commitment that employers get when they hire a TLM alumni.
