Virginia Department of Corrections unveils new inmate literacy program to reduce recidivism  

The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) is taking steps to help inmates re-integrate into society.
VADOC announced that it’s launching a new literary program, called Reading Enables All Learners (REAL), to help inmates who either can’t read or can only read at a beginner level.
“Reading is essential for all aspects of education,” said Terri Erwin, Director of the Virginia Interfaith Center’s Consensus for Higher Education in Prison.
