NOWADAYS, nearly every facet of life—from landing a job to interacting with online communities—requires at least a rudimentary understanding of technology.
However, continuing computer literacy, including digital know-how, is nearly impossible for persons deprived of liberty since prisons and jails are designed to be technologically isolated places. Cell phones and Internet-connected gadgets are prohibited for detainees in all but the most lenient minimum-security facilities.
The project, which includes a weekly class for PDL within the confines of the detention facility, started last April 29, where a team of professors from the CCS taught a total of 20 PDLs on keyboarding in batches. PDL “Chris” admitted that prolonged confinement and restricted access to technology could impede his ability to adapt to a contemporary society. He wants to continue schooling after serving his four-year jail term following a plea-bargaining agreement: “I need to keep myself digitally literate, because the digital world keeps on advancing. By doing so, I won’t be left behind when I enter school again.
