Plea from a Prisoner.
Marble, Guy
Educational Leadership, v50 n4 p61-63 Dec-Jan 1992-93
The Inmate Editor of "The ECHO," a newspaper for 50,000 inmates in the Texas Prison System, describes teaching an illiterate young prisoner to read and write; states that the majority of inmates are barely literate; and urges teachers never to discount their own impact as role models and to infect children with the desire to know.
