Susan,
If you are going to tutor in a prison population, I would like to offer two
pieces of advice drawn from my own experience in running a tutoring program
in state prisons some years ago:
1.  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!
