“The COVID crisis has prevented on-site visitation and dramatically impacted inmates’ ability to receive ongoing education, psychological help, and other issues such as religious and legal assistance; as a result, this has necessitated digital solutions to programming,” said Dan Vandenbosch, Projects and Programs Director at VendEngine. “We feel this is a very good step in filling that gap.”
“By partnering with VendEngine, MaxxContent, a leader in digital content and workforce development solutions, partners with one of the market’s leading content delivery platforms to provide opportunities for inmates to engage in digital resources and drive job readiness,” said Jean Mevs, President of MaxxContent. “Our vision is to deliver access to tools necessary that help inmates successfully re-enter and not only obtain employment but retain it.
