I’m Bettina Caron, an argentine literature teacher, writer and searcher about he benefits of reading literature and creative writing in prisons or another places where people is isolated. So as I’m so much interested about your proposal about The right to read and libraries for prisons as I red about Manitoba’s, I wish to know if are there another prisons where you could do this kind of work for inmates. I shoul like very much to know about it for the book I am finishing to write. For the same reason I’d like to contact by mail to Kirsten Murman, if possible. I´m really too much impressed for your work at Manitoba and know how difficult is to get something like this, you did.
My kind regards to all of you, and I´m sorry for my broken English, Bettina
