TRIUMPH: Building Bridges to Success (Part 2 of 2)
In Volume 2 of Triumph, our self-directed workbook, we present 100 additional lessons. We designed each lesson to help individuals in jails and prisons prepare for a successful return to society. Navigating the job market can be especially challenging for those with a criminal record. And since time in jail or prisons may obstruct a person’s opportunities to learn, we develop lessons that people can work through, regardless of where administrators put them. Use these lessons to build knowledge, skills, and competencies that will lead to higher earnings upon release.
