PrintED Gives Hope to Incarcerated

In 2003, the Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility became the first PrintED-accredited correctional facility in the state of West Virginia, and this milestone shows it is continuing to set the bar on how prison career training programs can—and should—operate. Studies have shown that educational programs create a more positive prison environment and can lead to lower rates of recidivism. There are currently nine PrintED-accredited prison programs in the country.
