Education
Securus Technologies® is committed to offering educational opportunities to incarcerated individuals to help reduce recidivism and improve an individual’s success in reintegration into society. For this reason, Securus® offers change-making technology through our tablets which deliver a robust educational program that help incarcerated individuals transform their lives. A variety of education and betterment programs offered to agencies with the flexibility to deliver courses and videos to increase these opportunities for success makes it all possible.
Securus’ Lantern is the largest digital education program in corrections, offering a full-service education platform with the capability to support college courses, high school equivalency prep, GED prep, adult basic education, vocational and personal development content from a network of reputable academic partners.
