Testimonials for this guide:
- Devin, incarcerated in Missouri
I have been incarcerated over 21 years. The internet and computers are only getting more advanced. This information is helping me get an understanding. I have no clue of the inner workings of the internet or how it comes together. You provided me with a lot of good information. The work you're doing is important.
- Ronald, in prison in Illinois
I use this guide often to be a step ahead of the game. The internet is an important tool and skill that will be needed once released. This guide wasn't confusing like the other courses. I have been incarcerated for 16 years. Now, everything is done on computers. Level has always been there for me, and I'm grateful.
