Help us break the cycle of crime by teaching prisoners coding. Coding is one of the modern world’s most sought after skills. Taking our inspiration from The Last Mile - an established prison coding programme that started in San Quentin, California - we aim to teach people a life-changing skill and get them back into the job market. The reason for this is simple. People who leave prison and find work are highly unlikely to reoffend. At the same time employment is one of the great barriers for people with criminal records, and many companies will not hire them. By teaching prisoners coding skills, we can significantly increase their chances of employment post-release, as well as help supply companies with the skills they so desperately need. Prisoners also have lot of time to practice and learn a new skill, something which is highly suitable to the trial and error method necessary to learn coding. By investing in prison education, you’re not only turning around the lives of individuals and improving the prospects of the communities to which most of them will eventually return, you are also saving the state and taxpayer money. The Code 4000 idea is simple. We want to build a similarly successful programme in the UK to those already operating in the US and elsewhere. If you think you can help us achieve that, please get in touch! Code 4000 is registered as non-profit in the UK (C.I.C.).
