We asked detainees how having access to Pay Tel’s technology and platform have impacted their lives
“Using the Pay Tel tablet in jail has helped me to better myself in a spiritual as well as mental and physical way and helped greatly reform my thinking back closer to normal and drug free. Basically, the tablet has been a major part in facilitating my progress to a better me. Thank you all very much for the opportunity, privilege, and blessing.”
Dustin, Pay Tel Pathway to Achieve™ Learner – Davidson County Jail
“I feel like I don’t [know] how we ever did jail/prison time before without this and was expected to achieve anything other than resentment and bitterness mainly at ourselves, no victim stance taken, but self-sabotage is sabotage, nonetheless.“
Matthew, Pay Tel Pathway to Achieve™ Learner – Buncombe County Detention Center
““[I will] absolutely [make better choices]!!!!! This program has opened my eyes. It has shown me that I was in denial and needed to get my act and faith right. NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT FOR MY KIDS, MY GIRL, AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE THEY DESERVE THE BEST VERSION OF ME.“

Unlimited Free Access to Award Winning Premium Education
Pathway to Achieve™ is a free premium education platform, created to change lives and help reduce recidivism. We’ve developed a self-administered Risk/Need Assessment and teamed up with experts to offer tailored courses for detainees, addressing their unique needs, learning styles, and goals. Our handpicked proprietary, exclusive, and licensed courses target common detainee challenges, focusing on personal development categories. We blend basic education and practical skills with deep behavioral change, aiming to reduce recidivism.
Our distinctive incentive-based education and access model ensures that all incarcerated individuals have equal opportunities, bridging socio-economic gaps and creating a safer, calmer jail environment. By completing educational courses, detainees earn free entertainment time, which allows them to watch movies, listen to music, and play games. This approach reduces disparities between those with and without access to resources, ensuring that every detainee has the same opportunity to engage with tablet content. Through this model, everyone can acquire valuable skills to aid their success after incarceration.
