Anna,
I'd recommend that you contact the Correctional Education Association, 
http://www.ceanational.org/. Their annual International Meeting will be 
held in Atlanta July 8-11, and I'm sure you can make contacts you need 
through this organization.

KET's LiteracyLink GED and Workplace Education materials are used in the 
corrections system, and I learned today that Virginia is starting an 
online initiative in which the LiteracyLink Online Management system 
will be used to support inmates' work on the LiteracyLink Online 
Learning modules. George Bailey at the Virginia Adult Learning Resource 
Center is conducting the training, I'm sure he can direct you to the 
right person for more information:

I'd also recommend that you speak with David Collings, Chair of the 
Adult Literacy and Technology Network - a national organization which 
promotes the use of instructional technology. David was involved in an 
experimental server-based application of LiteracyLink at a prison in the 
DC area around 2002. David was a guest moderator on this list in
February of this year. His email address is david at collings.com
