With more than 74 million e-learning hours completed on ViaPath tablets, this partnership brings behavioral health, recovery, life skills, and workforce readiness content to incarcerated individuals nationwide.

FALLS CHURCH, Va., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ViaPath Technologies, a leader in technology solutions for the corrections industry, today announced a new partnership with R1 Learning focused on evidence-based behavioral change, recovery, life skills, and workforce readiness education through a combination of instructor training, learning tools, and digital content.

Through the partnership, R1 Learning’s content will be available on ViaPath’s Inspire® tablets and technology platforms in correctional facilities, providing individuals with meaningful tools to support personal growth, skill-building, wellness, and successful reentry.

The partnership builds on ViaPath’s ongoing commitment to turning time into opportunity for incarcerated individuals. To date, individuals have completed more than 74 million e-learning hours on ViaPath tablets, demonstrating the growing demand for accessible, technology-enabled education and reentry programming inside correctional facilities.

“This partnership advances ViaPath’s mission to expand access to educational opportunities, rehabilitative support, and resources for personal growth,” said Deb Alderson, President & CEO at ViaPath Technologies. “By bringing R1 Learning’s evidence-based content to our technology platforms, we are helping individuals develop practical skills, improve their well-being, and prepare for a future not defined by their past.”

R1 Learning offers a comprehensive suite of evidence-based curricula, training, interactive learning tools, and digital content designed to build behavioral health awareness, recovery skills, workforce readiness, and successful reentry outcomes. The need is significant: according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 56% of state prisoners and 64% of local jail inmates had a mental health problem, while a separate Bureau of Justice Statistics report found that 58% of state prisoners and 63% of sentenced jail inmates met criteria for drug dependence or abuse.

By integrating R1 Learning’s resources into ViaPath’s secure technology ecosystem, correctional agencies can provide consistent, high-quality mental health, substance use and addiction, and life/work skills programming at scale—expanding access to skill-building opportunities that support personal growth, rehabilitation, and long-term reentry success. R1 Learning’s platform supports outcomes measurement by tracking engagement and utilization, generating personalized reports, and developing measures of knowledge attainment, skill development, motivation, confidence, readiness, and action.

“Education and skill-building are critical to successful reentry,” said Tom Karl, Founder & CEO at R1 Learning. “We are proud to partner with ViaPath to help more individuals access programs that support behavioral health and wellness, personal development, workforce readiness, and long-term success.”

ViaPath’s Inspire tablets and correctional technology platforms are designed to help facilities provide secure access to education and reentry-focused resources, communication, and entertainment. Adding R1 Learning content further strengthens ViaPath’s commitment to supporting rehabilitation and helping individuals build a stronger path forward.
