Teaching to a Captive Audience - Paperback

by Lois A. Colton (Author)

Most books written about the topics of mass incarceration or criminal justice are quite gritty and dark. Teaching to a Captive Audience is different. Besides getting to sit in on lessons taught by an award winning adult educator, readers will meet many colorful offenders and be taken on a sensory tourist's journey through the rooms and routines of the old penitentiary to get their own taste of what it means to be incarcerated. The realities are tough, but the read is by far more heart-warming and compelling than it is disturbing.
