Since some of you appear to be interested in prison curricula, I have copied and pasted two replies posted on othe NIFL listservs:

Focus on Basics Volume 5 Issue C has an article entitled "Struggles:
Writing as Healing" by Leslie Ridgway and Dale Griffith. It's about a
promising program for women inmates in a prison in Connecticut that uses
writing as a way to see how violence and trauma had affected ability to
learn. Go to http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu and click on publications to
get to Focus on Basics. All back issues are available.


If you would like to look at what the Vermont prison education system is
like, check out our web page:
