When I was teaching at Alvin Community College, we had a
prison program that offered lots of classes in the various
prison units in the area. I taught at a couple of the units
and visited all of them at one time or another. I didn't
teach writing, exactly, though I did teach remedial English
several times. I still remember a couple of great examples
from writing exercises, like "Bill have him a coat, but I be
cold" and "The dentist told me to bush my tooths." I also
taught literature classes and had some really good students.
Unlike the ones on campus, they always read the assignments,
not having too much else to do, and they loved to talk about
what they'd read.
