This is the fourth presentation of certificates to inmates since the program began in 2015.

Ten inmates at the Fort Bend County Jail in Texas recently received certificates of completion of the HVAC/Electrical training course. This is the fourth presentation of certificates to inmates since the program began in 2015.

According to a story from Your Fort Bend News, the vocational project is one component of Second Chance Opportunities and Re-Entry Educational (S.C.O.R.E) Programs, which has a goal of providing education for inmates in order to avoid returning to crime.

The inmates received certificates for completing the 10-week, 112-hour program. Every inmate who took the class passed both the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) test as well as the tests for electrical training.
