My name is Andrea Hernandez and I’m writing this to express my gratitude to ACI and the huge impact it’s had on my life and my future. I’ve had the pleasure of working for both Televerde and now MVD, altogether about four years. Both, the level of training and the valuable work skills I’ve learned in the amount of time I’ve worked ACI jobs has not only given me tremendous confidence in myself but has given me renewed hope for my success in my future.

Before my time with these companies I only had jobs that required little to no skill level and little to no hope for advancement. After my incarcerations I started to hear great things about a company called ACI who contracted with DOC and other companies to provide jobs to the inmates in DOC. Some of these jobs pay enough money for you to be able to save money to go home with. It did take some persistence on my end, but I finally got into an ACI job. Now, four years later, I’m a huge advocate for all jobs associated with ACI. I’m extremely grateful for the valuable skill set these jobs have given to me and continue to give to me; and also for the personal and professional growth I’ve experienced since working with these companies. None of this would have been possible without the job opportunities ACI has brought to the incarcerated community; and for that I say, “Thank You.”
