X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.3416 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 2278 Lines: 63 Gail, (Slightly off the topic) I recently retired from the Ohio Prison Education program after 30 years as a classroom teacher, Principal and Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction. Your research paper and the thoughtful comments from the list serve folks in general has been very timely and of great interest to me. I don't often reply to posts but do monitor these list serves. I can illustrate these comments with literally hundreds of stories from offenders, classroom teachers and in counters with street able program staff. But Janet framed it more eloquently with her recent post. In Ohio, nearly 95% of all offenders sentenced to Ohio's prisons and Community Correctional Centers will return to their home communities and the average length of stay hovers between 2 and 3 years. But more germane to your general topic is that the Ohio Central School System and the Department of Correction operate several ABLE funded "Community Justice Centers" designed to provide transitional services to offenders re-entering their community. Services include job placement, housing, transportation and access to GED and ABLE classes. Also, the Department and the city of Cleveland's Mayor have announced a joint reentry program for offenders returning to Cleveland. Ohio has a proactive reentry philosophy and has forged solid community relationships all across the state.

Friends, I recently posted a notice about the availability of a new CAAL publication on correctional education, titled *Current Issues in Correctional Education: A Discussion & Compilation.* Because the NIFL listservs don't permit e-mail attachments for security reasons, I pointed interested persons to the CAAL web site (http://www.caalusa.org) and item 3 down the left column of the home page.
