With the drop of this figure, we are donating $30,000 to The Last Mile. Founded in 2010, The Last Mile provides coding and technology training to incarcerated men, women, and young adults looking to improve themselves. Since 1970 the prison population in America has increased 700% with over half of all incarcerated people ending up back behind bars after release. The Last Mile focuses on educating individuals looking to change their lives with valuable technology skills and assistance after release with job placement, boasting a 0% re-incarceration rate for citizens that go through the program.
Youtooz chose The Last Mile to shed light on the often forgotten. Being in jail does not mean your life is over.
