      <link>https://mce.md.gov/MCE-Blog/Post/1741/MCE-Prepares-Program-Participants-for-a-Second-Chance</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;What is a second chance? A second chance is a new opportunity to succeed after a previous failure or mistake. Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE)&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;offers a series of classes specifically to support and prepare our program participants for reentry into the community.&lt;/p&gt;
