Borrow books and newspapers from the prison to read.
According to Captain Hong, the joy of teachers like her is seeing that prisoners can read and write. Even on special occasions, students write letters to thank their teachers. Captain Hong said that, in teaching work, normally teachers always have to care about students’ thoughts and feelings, but in prison, teachers have to care more about students. Because if prisoners are happy, they need to be encouraged and encouraged to continue their studies well, and if they are sad, they need to be encouraged and confided.
“When coming here, prisoners often have a homesick mentality, so we often encourage them to try to learn to read and write to send letters home to their families. For those who are not fluent in writing, the corrections officer helps the inmate to have a complete letter. Thanks to that, the prisoners are very excited,” said Captain Chu Thi Hong.
