Incarcerated individuals struggle to access affordable CDL training and career pathways post-release

People in correctional facilities face severe barriers to obtaining Commercial Driver's License (CDL) certification due to limited program availability, high costs, and lack of institutional support. Current solutions are fragmented and inaccessible, leaving formerly incarcerated individuals unprepared for employment upon release, which directly correlates with recidivism rates. The urgent need for structured, affordable CDL programs in correctional facilities addresses both workforce shortages and rehabilitation outcomes.
