Testimonials for this guide:

This guide gave me great ideas when it comes to technology jobs. I'm passionate when it comes to computer technology. One of the first things I'm going to do when I get out of prison is use the internet, and with this knowledge and information from this guide, I'll be able to use the web without a problem.

- Miguel, in prison in California

Being in Texas prisons, our chances of getting rehabilitated are slim to none when it comes to prison officials. So we have to be self-willing on rehabilitating ourselves. I would like to tell you all how highly appreciative that I am for you all blessing me and others with these learning guides.

- Jermain, in prison in Texas

I very much appreciate the service that Level provides. I truly enjoy being able to continue to learn and prepare for when I am able to leave prison and jump back into the world full steam ahead with all the knowledge I have gained. It is by God's grace we can help one another.
