Books behind bars

From an article about the ChIRP program in Canada.

ChIRP is completely optional to inmates. Interested individuals — there are now women inmates involved in this program as well — choose a storybook then read the story for their child on a tape. This not only creates a tangible link between inmates and their families, but also sends the child a gift while living in a situation which would not normally allow for such a gesture.

All of it...

Has anybody done anything similar in their ministry? I would like to hear about it.
