Case Study · Nonprofit
A learning platform built for every facility.
Prison Fellowship Ministries runs a program across roughly 30 state prisons. We built them a custom platform to deliver programming and content to tablets inside facilities, made to their standards and built to work at that scale.

The problem
A nationwide program, no platform of its own.
Prison Fellowship Ministries runs a program across roughly 30 state prisons. They needed a platform of their own to deliver programming and content to tablets inside facilities, built to their standards and able to work at that scale.
What we built
A multi-tier platform, built into their process.
We built a multi-tier custom application, a Tier One and Tier Two Academy Tracker, that delivers videos and PDFs to tablets inside facilities across the program. We built directly into their engineering process, working within their GitHub, Jira, and monitoring setup. The apps are live in production, and the partnership is now in its fourth year.
Align to standards
Build to Prison Fellowship .NET requirements and engineering process.
Build the Academy Tracker

Sustain in production
Apps live and a partnership now entering its fourth year.
The work that we do is missional. It impacts millions of lives, and you’ve had a big part of that. I just wanted to thank you for your contribution, for partnering with us these years.
The result
One platform, roughly 30 state prisons.
The program runs from one platform across roughly 30 state prisons, and has reached more than 275,000 families. Content reaches tablets inside facilities nationwide. What started as a platform build has become a multi-year development partnership, now entering its fourth year, with the apps live in production.
Before
- A nationwide program without a platform of its own
- No consistent way to deliver content to tablets inside facilities
- Delivery that did not scale cleanly across prisons
- No system built to their .NET engineering standards
After
- A custom multi-tier platform built to their .NET standards
- Videos and PDFs delivered to tablets across roughly 30 state prisons
- One platform running the program nationwide
- A development partnership now in its fourth year
