Prison news

Sheriff Michael Adkinson states, “We find that a large portion of the population in our jail is either significantly below reading level or functionally illiterate.”

Because of this, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office is in the early stages of implementing “Sound Training Reform.” It was developed in Middlesbrough, England, and it has been shown that the reading program may boost participants’ reading ages by an average of 27 months in only six weeks. The Walton County Prison is the first correctional institution in the United States to serve as the program’s experimental location.

The sound training consists of six sessions, each lasting one hour and spread out over six weeks. A tutor educated by the program’s inventor and designer, Katy Parkinson, guides a group of four convicts through several exercises geared toward bridging the reading gap.
