LIBRARIES EVERYWHERE

Libraries behind bars

In Bolivia, a new program called Books Behind Bars allows prisoners to leave prison earlier if they read. Many grown-ups in Bolivia's prisons do not know how to read or write because it is a relatively poor country. Participating in Books Behind Bars and passing the reading tests part of the program will make them literate. In return, the prisoners gain a valuable skill when they are released from prison. It is hoped to assist them in finding a job and staying out of trouble. So far, fewer than 1,000 prisoners are participating in the program.

在玻利维亚,一项名为 "狱中读书 "的新计划允许囚犯在完成阅读计划后提前出狱。玻利维亚是一个相对贫穷的国家,监狱中的许多成年人不识字。通过参加 "狱中读书 "项目并结合相关的阅读测试,可以使他们识字。这一宝贵的技能还能帮助囚犯们出狱后找到工作。到目前为止,只有不到1000名囚犯参加了该计划。
