Smart Horizons Career Online Education (SHCOE; http://www.shcoe.org) held historic graduation ceremonies on November 2, 2012 for 21 inmates in the Florida Department of Corrections Madison Correctional Institution.
SHCOE was selected as the official provider of online education for inmates in Florida prison facilities in February 2012. Pilot programs went live at the Madison facility in April and at Ocala’s Lowell Annex Correctional Institution in May. The 21 Madison graduates are the inaugural graduating class for these pilot programs, which are the first online secondary education programs at any correctional facility in the United States.
Attending this historic occasion were Ms. Tahnee Casanova, Bureau Chief of Re-Entry Programs and Education for the Florida Department of Corrections; Dr. Howard Liebman, CEO and Superintendent for SHCOE; Mr. Chip Case and Mr. Brewser Brown, Chief Lobbyists for SHCOE; and members of the graduates’ families.
