| Abstract | Project CONNECT (Inmate Advocacy) was developed to provide counseling to inmates involved in the education programs at Fayette County Prison in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, before and immediately following their release. Twenty-one inmates who had been selected through a screening process received individual basic skills remediation in a classroom setting and were divided into three support groups that each completed sessions on the following topics: self-discovery/group discovery, visualization of goals and commitments, barriers to reaching goals, and social and problem-solving skills. Each group spent 2 afternoons each week for 4 months in a course in the following: banking, budgeting, comparison shopping, credit, transportation, consumer complaints, home purchase/improvement, and taxes and investments. The participants achieved demonstrable gains in reading grade level and were able to work on daily survival skills while also being able to discuss their concerns, frustrations, and progress in a support group setting. (Attached are outlines of the life skills curriculum and support group sessions and participants' pretest/posttest scores on the Test of Adult Basic Education.) (MN) |
