GDC Braille Program Assists
2,859 students
“I am proud to say these
Braille Programs create a
cost saving for local school
districts and some former
offenders have already
used the skills learned
while incarcerated, to
pursue a career in braille
transcription.”
- Commissioner Timothy C. Ward
#National Braille Day!
GDC took a tour of the Georgia Academy For
The Blind in Macon, GA. GDC's Braille Program
teaches offenders the skills to transcribe textbooks
for students at the school, as well as other students
around the state.
GDC has several braille programs that teach offenders to
transcribe textbooks for students all over Georgia. In 2019,
these products were able to help thousands of college and
K-12 students!
