How the Incarcerated Find New Hope Through "The Way to Happiness" Course Using Unique Department of Corrections Tablet

DC Department of Corrections is using unique tablets to provide incarcerated individuals with life skills courses to reduce recidivism rates

Criminon New Life DC is proud to share the inspiring story of an incarcerated individual who recently completed the "The Way to Happiness" course through the Criminon DC program, using DC Department of Corrections tablets. Through special secure tablets, created during the COVID years, community programs have remote access to those incarcerated in order to bring them vitally needed life improvement programs.

The Criminon New Life DC student, identified as B.R., following the completion of his course, expressed in his “success story” profound personal growth and a renewed sense of purpose.

In his heartfelt testimonial, B.R. described the transformative impact of the course, which included thought-provoking videos and lessons that resonated deeply with him. Initially skeptical about participating in an online program while incarcerated, B.R. shared that the experience exceeded his expectations.

"The videos were especially thought-provoking, and I found myself reflecting on my life and the choices I’ve made," he said. "The sights, sounds, and energy of the outside world seemed to come alive and speak to me. I came to appreciate and identify with the actors in the videos. The course really helped me realize that there is an amazing community out there, and it holds endless possibilities."

B.R. highlighted how the course helped him develop a new perspective on life, one that prioritizes empathy, community, and responsibility. He emphasized the importance of considering the impact of his actions on others and expressed a strong commitment to living a more rewarding and positive life, both during and after his incarceration.

"I plan to live my life by thinking about my actions through the eyes of my family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers on the street. I know I will feel better about myself and live a happier life if I don't always think of myself first and focus on those around me," B.R. stated. 

“The Way to Happiness" course, based on the book by L. Ron Hubbard of the same title, is designed to help incarcerated individuals develop positive life skills, moral values, and a sense of personal responsibility. Through this program, participants are encouraged to reflect on their past choices and envision a brighter future.

In the book, Mr. Hubbard says, “There is no person alive who cannot make a new beginning… So people can fall down: it doesn’t mean they can’t get up again and keep going.”

B.R.’s testimony serves as a powerful reminder of the potential for personal growth and rehabilitation, even in the most challenging of circumstances. His story is a testament to the positive impact that programs like the Criminon New Life DC’s The Way to Happiness course can have on individuals seeking to turn their lives around.

B.R. concluded, "I have a choice and can choose what I do next and how I do it. This course helped me visualize actually doing it and showed me that happiness is possible. Thank you for accepting me in the course and giving me this opportunity."
