Check out this story in the NY times about this awesome juvenile detention center program. The program is called 'Literature 'n Living'. The teenaged prisoners were encouraged to read books written by people who had grown up like them. They wrote book reports, and their instructor sent them to author's and got some to come and speak with the kids. In return for finishing books and writing reports, they're given special meals, contact visits with their families and special attention from these famouse authors.
Great program.
