Where is the program implemented? Federal or state level?

Provide a website that gives information about your chosen program.

Example: Information about "Own Your Future" can be found at: https://secure.collegeincolorado.org/own_your_future/how_to_own_your_future/learn_more.aspx
What are the aims and goals of the program?
• Example: "Own Your Future" attempts to rehabilitate and reintegrate inmates into society by offering them educational and job opportunities. The goal is to reduce recidivism by giving ex-convicts the tools needed for success.
How does the program plan to accomplish these goals?

• Example: "Own Your Future" is an education program for recently released inmates in the state of Colorado; however, any evaluation on similar programs can be used.
Include other relevant information at your discretion.
• This can include success/graduation rates, how long the program has been implemented, information taken from news articles (provide link), opinions from politicians/warden/inmates, etc.
