Reading behind the Walls!!
This event will focus on the importance of reading behind the walls of our prisons and jails. In the corrections settings, one of the most important places for students to spend time is the library. Beyond the mere fact that reading helps pass the time as individuals are behind the walls, the library provides a link to education that every student can access in their journey through the criminal legal system. This event will focus on the importance of reading and how reading can be transformative for students. Best practices in reading pedagogy will be considered, and what types of books might help guide students in their educational journey will be explored.
