Costa Rica’s Ministry of Justice and Peace and Microsoft announced an agreement on Thursday by which the California-based software giant will provide free training in web development to select prisoners in Costa Rica’s penal system as part of a pilot project.

Under the pilot program, 15 prisoners aged 22 to 53 currently housed in a Heredia prison known as the Centro de Atención Institucional Gerardo Rodríguez, will receive a free course in web development. The prisoners will receive training in web technologies such as HTML-5, Javascript, and CSS.

The prisoners were selected due to good behavior and the fact that they had completed at least two years of high school.

“This agreement is aimed at one of the most important goals of prison management and where we have, probably, failed the most: creating opportunities to facilitate the reintegration of persons deprived of liberty into society,” Justice Minister, Cecilia Sanchez said in a statement.

After completing the course, inmates can elect to complete a certification in “Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3.”

“We are committed to the development of communities in which we operate. We are very pleased to support [a program] that will be useful and open doors once [inmates] leave the center,” said Microsoft Costa Rica chief, Carlos Flores.
