The Pipeline  Project is once again offering a Literacy in the Criminal 
Justice System  seminar this winter quarter where UW students explore 
adult education  issues and tutor inmates in the King County 
Correctional Facility in  downtown Seattle.  Staff from the Correctional 
Facility will be hosting  an information session about this experience 
next TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1st from 3:30-4:30 pm in MGH 120 conference room.

Does illiteracy lead to criminal behavior? Find out for yourself with
this unique opportunity to tutor in one of society's most under-served
populations. The Education department at the King County Correctional
Facility encourages you to stretch your boundaries and join us in a
quarter of educational enrichment. With the opportunity to tutor inmates
in a GED (General Educational Development), ABE (Adult Basic Education),
and/or ESL (English as a Second Language) curriculum, you have the
freedom to challenge your own creativity, gain teaching skills, and help
the community by being your student's first positive educational
experience. Our 5 seminar series will focus on personal tutoring
strategies and techniques, issues of adult education in our community,
and the positive outcomes of adult education. We will hear from speakers
who work in adult education, as well as adult learners, who are the
product of adult education. Be prepared for a dynamic experience as you
tap into a population that acts with emotion and can touch you with
stories of their dehumanizing reality. Please note: a criminal
background check will be completed for all interested students (previous
convictions DO NOT automatically bar your entrance into the jail).  Must
be 21 to participate. 2 1/2 hours (2 credits) tutoring per week.
