Read the book "Games Criminals Play" - available from the Correctional Education Assoc. 2. Read about adults with learning disabilities and the methods of reading instruction that appear to work with them. The incidence of LD is high in prisons. Good luck to you. It will be an interesting experience, I am certain!
