Programs that allow inmates to earn college degrees are flourishing in Massachusetts

Orijin™ is proud to partner with the Massachusetts Department of Correction in empowering justice-impacted individuals to reshape their future through education. One inspiring story is Christopher Gannon, who earned admission to Boston College while incarcerated. Now a BC sophomore, Gannon is on track for a STEM career after completing a psychology and neuroscience program at Yale this summer.

“When I got that acceptance letter, I didn’t realize how much my life had changed, but I knew the opportunity was there,” Gannon said.

Through Orijin’s Managed Learning Platform, delivered on secure tablets, incarcerated individuals like Christopher gain access to life-changing educational opportunities.

Read the full story on how education is making a profound impact, and learn about the public-private partnerships that are opening doors to higher education for the justice-impacted.
