The descriptions weredeveloped from each program's response to a survey distributed in the summerof 1985 by the Literacy Guidelines Project conducted by Far West Laboratoryand funded by the National Institute of Corrections.Over 400 prison literacyeducation programs were surveyed.Two hundred twenty-five individualinstitutions in 46 states responded,and the Federal Bureau of Prisons,theDistrict of Columbia,and two state departments of correction replied for allthe institutions in their systems.  \nPrograms are listed in alphabetical order by state.If responses includedan overall description of a state's literacy education offerings in  \ncorrections,that information is presented.  Such information usually covers  \n(1)the organization of correctional education within that state;(2)  \nphilosophy of education;(3)literacy programming;(4)life skills offerings;  \n(5)English-as-a-Second-Language(ESL)programs;(6)special educationefforts;(7)assessment instruments;(8)any special features;and(9)information on mandatory and voluntary inmate participation.  \nFor each state the number of institutions surveyed and the number thatresponded is indicated.Where the information was provided,a contact person,address,phone number,the security level,number of students served","cbCaimluZn6yv9kt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimluZn6yv9kt","pdf",5664838,143,"English","# MAKING LITERACY PROGRAMS WORK\n## VOLUME II: DIRECTORY OF PRISON LITERACY PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES\n## NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CORRECTIONS\n## FOREWORD\n## PREFACE\n## LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Volume II in Making Literacy Programs Work?\",\"answer\":\"Volume II provides a directory of literacy programs operating in prisons across the United States, using responses to a national survey to capture existing services and program components.\"},{\"question\":\"How are programs organized in this volume?\",\"answer\":\"Programs are listed alphabetically by state.
