- Read to the Children: Promoting Family Literacy in Colorado's Prisons. Fast Facts. Number 347 Doran-Myers, Miranda Family Literacy Institutionalized Persons Correctional Institutions Reading Programs Children Program Effectiveness Program Attitudes Child Caregivers Family Relationship Reading Aloud to Others Since 1999, the Read to the Children (RTC) program has allowed offenders in Colorado's state prisons to send young family members a book accompanied by a recording of the offender reading it. RTC is a collaboration between the Colorado State Library and the Colorado Department of Corrections. In the past year, around 1,900 offenders and 3,200 children participated in RTC. Survey results are presented from 253 caregivers and 366 offenders who participated in RTC between 2013-2016 to find out how they feel about the program.
