“Education has given me a new outlook on life. I firmly believe that knowledge is the vehicle for change.” These powerful words, spoken by an inmate of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), reflect the life-changing impact of UHCL's Transforming Lives by Degrees (TLD) program. For 50 years, TLD has provided incarcerated individuals with the opportunity to earn a college degree while serving time, offering not just an education, but a second chance.
