We have had a literacy program in our detention center for a number of years, staffed by 3 volunteers who teach once a week. Just recently, the detention center upgraded their office computers and decided to keep the old ones for inmate use. Two will be housed in the library and the rest are already in the commons areas of inmate housing. I would like to talk to anyone who has done anything like this before or who has any suggestions regarding the best use of these computers. We need suggestions for software and training. We have already decided to train the inmate representatives on computer use. That really should have been done before the computers were placed in the housing units, but someone jumped the gun on that one. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me hear from you.
