“The mission of texas hope literacy is to transform offenders through the hope community reintegration models using peer-driven education within an evidence-based framework in order for them to re-enter society as productive and contributing members of their communities. The vision is to be the model program for prisons and jails everywhere. Our goals are to equip the inmates to be responsible citizens during their incarceration post-release so that they will be better parents to their children, our communities will be safer, and recidivism lowered.”

“Bridgeport facility - installed program in the male bridgeport prison, serving 50 inmates monthly with a turnover rate of 1-2%. 50% of the population in this male dorm was hispanic. The inmate peer tutors taught literacy, math and english to the hispanic inmates. Those who spoke english tutored in basic to advanced literacy and math, and 5% worked on college prep. Tutors who were skilled in literacy but deficient in math, taught literacy and were students in math with inmate math peer tutors. The same was true if they were proficient in math but deficient in literacy. Career paths were included in their studies such as commercial truck driving.”
