Learning new skills – The prisoners trying to code their way to a better life
Check out this rare glimpse inside of San Quentin state prison (filmed and reported by the BBC) where a select group of inmates are learning how to code.
San Quentin state prison in California has begun a ground-breaking program to teach prisoners how to code.
Eighteen inmates have been selected to take part in a six month course which teaches them essential web coding languages and aims to make them more employable when they leave prison.
