Testimonials for this guide:

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 cannot thank Level enough for these guides and the knowledge that they contain. All of you all there at Level have given me the opportunity to show the initiative that I am putting into my rehabilitative efforts with each one of these certificates. So, from the four corners of my heart... I say thank you.

- Christopher, in prison in Illinois

Thank you for offering these guides to us in prison. There are many of us who wish to change our lives, to grow, to learn and redeem through knowledge and hard work. I'm very happy to find this program, as the opportunities for growth are here.
