Providing access to education for those affected by incarceration

In the US there are currently over two million people incarcerated. Nearly 700,000 of these inmates will be released annually. By providing inmates with educational resources while incarcerated, we can work towards rehabilitation and improve their odds of succeeding in the world once out.

ideas

Edovo's mission is to provide meaningful access to education and self-improvement tools that can unlock the potential of every person affected by incarceration. Edovo has developed and sourced digital content to cover a range of educational, vocational, legal and treatment needs of those incarcerated. The platform can be rented to detainees and inmates for a low daily cost, or the tablets can be funded through facility/grant resources and provided to inmates free of charge.
