Hi there, I'm the editor of the piece. Me or someone on my team would like to chat with you if you're willing to talk about your experience and could give us some leads in finding a couple of those folks. Drop me a line: deads AT themarshallproject.org We have a bit of a rolodex of formerly incarcerated software engineers. One person talked with my team and said he needed prison to get sober, but he needed access to tech books to have a future afterwards. I think about that a lot when I see all the programming books banned in different state prisons -- it's not just Ohio.

The program was called Coding in the Clink, and if I remember right they even had a guest visit from Uncle Bob at some point. The people involved with the program were some of the best devs I've worked with in Columbus. A quick search for "Coding in the Clink" will turn up the names of many of those involved. Look for the name Dan, he'd be the guy I most strongly associate with CITC.
