In the early 1990s a group of Vietnam Veteran, incarcerated, contacted the Nevada Laubach trainer and embarked upon a peer tutoring project that lasted for several years. A Federal grant two or three years ago provided staff for the Education Consultant to provide classroom instruction. The grant ended last year and currently Nevada provides no funding for corrections educational programming, except through adult high school diploma services. In 2003 an LSTA grant from the State Library provided funding for a demonstration project BEHIND BARS: A family literacy project based on work done by Even Start in Florida. I would be happy to write up something about out demonstration project if you would like. Susan Nevada Literacy Coalition
