Many inmates that are incarcerated have limited educational exposure. In fact the illiteracy rate among incarcerated prisoners is staggeringly high.
At the Valley State Prison for Women (VSPW) located in Chowchilla, Ca Literacy Coordinator Ms. Cindy Greer meets with two dozen inmates to assign work projects. These assigned projects are for literacy tutors. The tutors, who are women incarcerated prisoners themselves, help their fellow women prisoners to become better readers and to help them pass requirements to obtain their GED.
“This program gives students who have never been successful in reading an opportunity to succeed,” said Ms.Greer, Literacy Coordinator.
