Nearly thirty five percent of inmates are re-incarcerated after 1 year of release with that number raing to fifty percent after three years of release. To fight this problem Eng. 304 Community Education will be teaching the practices of correspondence analysis to the inmates at FCI Morgantown. The program will be a 6 week course that teaches writing skills, interview skills, and coping with the stress of finding employment.FCI Morgantown is a low security federal prison for non violent offenders. The prisoners will be instructed on how to write a successful cover letter and resume. They will also attend a counseling session with a social worker to learn how to cope with the stress related to finding employment.
The purpose for our project is to reduce recidivism rates by preparing federal inmates for finding employment upon release. By finding employment after release the inmates can support themselves by legal means and reduce crime rates in the community.
The project is done by the non profit organization English 304 Community Education. Dr. Kramer is a retired English professor at WVU and he is volunteering his time to teach the inmates at FCI Morgantown business correspondence. If you are interested in helping we can be contacted anytime via email at eng304education@mix.wvu.edu or by phone Monday through Friday from 8-4 at 304-555-5555.
