Bill, John and Steve,

I have a question about family literacy. "Locked Up and Locked Out"
points out that punishment “is not appropriate for the more than 1.5
million children of prisoners” and that “Neglecting these unintended
victims will likely lead to these children replacing their parents in
the prisons of the future.”

What is being done about this? Can you give us some examples of
programs in prison settings that help inmates help their children to
read or with their homework, or with other education-related or
parenting issues?
