I'm in the process of working with one inmate to co-facilitate a writing group at a women's facility here in Rhode Island. When I told the deputy warden that eventually I hope that my student / co-facilitator could take over the group herself, I was told that that wouldn't be allowed as she would then have a leadership role (or words to that effect). The message was that she'd have something that others wouldn't. It's too soon to tell where our project will go, but I'm curious to know if you, or others working in corrections, have had similar kinds of issues in setting up peer-run programs. thanks Janet Isserlis > ---------- > From: nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov on behalf of Anne Murr > Reply To: nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov > Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 5:16 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: [NIFL-FOBASICS:1239] Re:Focus on Basics on Correctional Education > > Barbara, > FYI: > LDA-Iowa is sponsoring a pilot prison literacy project in the women's > facility.
