One of the interesting facts that I came across is that Eve Ensler, the author of "The Vagina Monologues" teaches a writing class to violent female offenders at Beford Hills prison for women in Westchester County, NY. She is quoted as saying: "What I've seen is how much women in prison long to tell their stories." Her class has been filmed for a PBS documentary "What I want my words to do" I am curious if any of you would care to share your experiences with literacy and women in prison.
