I'm in a single man cell 24 hours a day, seven days a week - indefinite solitary confinement until I go home. Currently I'm Florida's one, only and worst super-max prison in the state. They provide us zero educational assistance. But through Level and its guides, I've begun a journey of meeting educational goals.
Level's Former Prison Education Program
How The Internet Works
How The Internet Works teaches the fundamental concepts of internet technology. Level’s internet technology training for people in prison covers the evolution of the first computer networks, the importance of breaking digital information into small packets and how information is sent from one computer to another. Additionally, this guide provides helpful information about staying safe online and getting a job in the field of internet technology after release from prison.

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.

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.
