Tech rebooted for former prisoners

Refurbished, recycled and nothing less than life-changing, the obsolete laptops from businesses being transformed by Rebooted mean prison leavers and prisoners’ children can keep learning and transform their prospects too.

“By helping struggling families access education, stay connected and develop skills, we're breaking the endless cycle of reoffending which does so much harm,” explains James Tweed who founded charity Rebooted a year ago. Its funding partner is Coracle Online, Tweed's platform for laptops used in prisons.

Some 200,000 young people who have an incarcerated parent are potential customers and Rebooted has a waiting list in the hundreds. “We definitely need more equipment and there's no limit to what we can take,” says Tweed.
