The Bridge at WCSO
Rebuilding Lives, Strengthening Community
Updated Inmate Education – Coming soon to The Bridge at the WCSO.
Vision: At WCSO, we envision a community where every individual, no matter their past, has the opportunity for successful reentry after incarceration. The Bridge program is key to making this vision a reality.
Mission: At The Bridge at WCSO, we specialize in evidence-based re-entry programs, tailoring our services to assist individuals as they transition back into society after incarceration. We provide scientifically proven programs and support to empower individuals to thrive within their neighborhoods, workplaces, and families. Every journey is unique, and we are committed to ensuring that those seeking assistance receive the necessary support regardless of their background. Together, we help rebuild lives and shape a brighter, safer future for all.
The In-House Bridge at WCSO: The facility currently offers a comprehensive curriculum consisting entirely of evidence-based programs meticulously crafted and validated to address criminogenic needs effectively. Many of the courses that will be available on the tablets will also be available to those who can attend in-house classes. Vocational classes are also available to those who qualify.
The Remote Bridge at WCSO: Specifically designed for tablet-based delivery, this suite of classes seamlessly integrates with the Smart Communications Inmate Tablet System. There will soon be almost 20 different classes that are offered on the tablets that are available to all inmates.
Other classes and resources that are available at The Bridge at WCSO include:
- Workforce Development offered by JOIN Inc.
- High School Equivalency classes and testing
- Early Head Start through UNR’s Child and Family Research Center
- Getting Ahead While Getting Out
- Veteran’s Outreach with the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System
A list of Community Partners with The Bridge at WCSO will be posted as they become available.
