This week the first 50 copies of our new LEAP packets (Learning, Engagement, and Activities Packets) have been distributed in special housing units at the Oregon State Penitentiary.
The packets include essays, short stories, poems, activities, and artwork. They also include writing prompts throughout the packet, inviting readers to respond to the parts that interest them. Our LEAP coordinator will give feedback to everyone who writes responses to the packet.
We will be collecting feedback and integrating the things we learn into future volumes as we expand our participants to folks in other special housing and isolated circumstances statewide.
