Passage2..
Literacy in Freedonia's prisons
In 1993,the Government d Freedoma's National
Prisons Directorate (NPD) carried
out a research project to investigate the extent of literacy in
Freedonia's prison
population.
The notion that prisoners are poor readers and
writers seems to be questioned
very little by the public despite the lack of hard evidence to
support such a view.
The1e media, in particular, continue to portray prisoner as
illiterate and generally
poorly educated. Freedonia's leading daily newspaper, The Freedonian,
for example,
frequently makes such statements as 'Freedonia's jails are full of
people who can't
read!'(4 May, 1992). But the media are not the only ones who are
critical. Research
into attitudes of prison officials shows that they, too, hold that
prisoners are
poor readers (McDonne11,1989). Overseas studies have also been
influential in
strengthening this view. For example, a survey of Canadian prisoners
by Kohl in 1987
revealed a literacy rate ranging from 15% to 55%, while an
Australian study of the
same year showed similar results. To add to the general criticism,
Freedoonia's
criminologists are beginning to suggest that crime is a product of
illiteracy (Bass,
1988;katz&Wallport, 1989). The NPD commissioned its study to
compare prisoner
literacy with that of the general public to see how Freedonian
prisoners actually
conform tοthese perceptions.
The study, carried out by the Literacy
Institute of the Freedonian National
University, took as samples 200 male prisoners from Yaxchilan Men's
Correctional
Institute and 150 female prisoners from Monambak Women's Prison. The
prisoners were
each made to work through a series of activities designed to assess
performance in
three separate literacy areas. The three areas included what the
study tem1ede
'X-literacy', which is the ability to correctly fill out forms or
follow written
directions; 'Y-literacy', the comprehension of reading passages; and
'Z-literacy',
which calls for correct interpretation of text that is primarily
number-based. This
latter skill often includes some calculation. All activities were
identical to those
used in a national adult literacy survey carried out in 1990.
It was found that the prison population did,
in fact, have a lower rate of
X-literacy than the general population, but that the overall
difference was slight.
In an activity which had the prisoners complete mock job
applications, for example,
just 62% of female and 60% of male prisoners could correctly fill
out the
applications compared with 66%in the national adult sample (see
figure l). Similar
differences were found between general and prison population
completing insurance
applications, although it should be mentioned that individual
differences in this
task were great.
There were activities in which prisoners did
more noticeably worse. however.
In one activity, the proportion of male prisoners who could
correctly identify the
main and secondary points of newspaper articles was 54%, compared
with 64% of the
general public. Interestingly, female prisoners, with 61%, were much
closer to the
national average for this activity. Prisoners, again more noticeably
males, also
did significantly worse in keeping a running total of a bank
account, a quantitative
task of relative complexity.
But, Importantly, both male and female
prisoners outperformed the national adult
sample in other activities; in one, far fewer general adults than
prisoners could
correctly interpret tram timetables, while in identifying directions
on medical
prescriptions, both male and female prisoners were marginally better
than their
counterparts on the other side of the prison fence.
