You are wise to look for stories (qualitative) data as well. I've included two (of many) references. You should also visit the Center for the Study of Correctional Education at:   http://www.csusb.edu/coe/programs/correctional_ed/ and the Correctional education Association at: http://www.ceanational.org/ Good luck. And congratulations for selecting such a great topic for your adult literacy topic! Bill Muth, VCU Boudin, K. (1993). Participatory literacy behind bars: AIDS opens the door.

[ProfessionalDevelopment 2504] Looking for information on Adult        Literacy for Masters project




Hello,I am a special education teacher looking for information to complete a project regarding adult literacy.  I am tutoring at a local youth prison facility and want to know if the wards are benefiting from the help being offered.  Does anyone know where to acquire both quantitative and qualitative research in this area?Thank you.Diane Maag
