I am quite happy to announce the Mt Pleasant
Correctional Facility has purchased a 4 terabyte eGranary/COEP system for
installation in their education lab. We
have contracted to supply both a server as well as several customized re-entry
skill building class modules for use in their curriculum. We are so very happy to have them on board
and look forward to a long and mutually-beneficial relationship!
WiderNet is rallying organizations around the country to provide this innovative educational service to incarcerated individuals. Our goal is to raise $250,000 to continue developing and start distributing this innovative technology to the corrections community country-wide. This blog is maintained by Heather Erwin, coordinator of the Corrections Offline Educational Platform at WiderNet.

Prison Project to Present at Corrections Education Association Annual Conference in July
I’ll be attending the Corrections Education Association’s 67th Annual Conference, held in St. Paul, Minnesota at the end of July to present a
demonstration of the Corrections Off-line Education Platform at a breakout
education session for attendees. It’s an
exciting prospect as the conference will give us a chance to reach out to many
different educators all in one place all at one time. I am hopeful that we will have an interested
and attentive audience with many questions and suggestions. This is how we make the COEP a better and
more useful tool for corrections educators everywhere.
