Excellent article. Suggesting that elitism is not a criterion is impressive.

RE: Dr. Temple Grandin
To the Editor:
Temple Grandin is an amazing woman and a great advocate for all people with autism. She has been an inspiration to my husband and I by reading her books and learning from them. Temple Grandin is living proof that there is hope for autism. Thank you for advocating and helping people in the autistic world.

RE: Education Behind Bars
To the Editor:
My spouse is incarcerated in Auburn Correctional Facility in NY. I was impressed with your article and your interest in “enhancing” opportunities for inmates.

This is wrong! No inmate deserves free tuition! I paid an arm and a leg for my education and I’ve never, ever been in trouble with the law. All of the prisoners I’ve ever met are part of the revolving door system. Once they’re out they go right back in. Keep them in jail or fry all of them!

To the Editor:
What a wonderful article and I commend you for all you are doing for these people. I have been helping an inmate in Texas for the past 9 nine years (who has been incarcerated since he was 16 years old). He is very much interested in taking GED classes our only problem is that he is in administrative segregation and remains in a cell 24/7. Although his legal issues are very complex (we are working on those with an attorney), I would appreciate it if there is anyway I could possibly have him prepare for the GED. His and my financial status is poor and therefore we are looking for something very low/no cost. He is very determined to achieve his GED. Is there any advice you can provide me with that I may pass along to him? I thank you so much and pray for all that you are doing for your population. God Bless.
