This week, as we recognize International Literacy Day, we’re reflecting on what literacy truly means—and how it’s taught. 📚✨

In her recent post for The Petey Greene Program, Moira Marquis explores the complex history of reading behind bars: from early carceral control to its power as a tool for self-determination and critical thought.

Literacy isn't just about passing a test or achieving moral reform; it’s a relational, culturally rich practice that empowers people to reclaim their narratives, ask questions, and build meaningful connections.

At PGP, we’re committed to providing high-quality, non-moralizing educational support that honors our students' lived experiences and fosters true self-determination. 💡

📚 Summer Reading List: Part 1 ☀️

It may be the middle of August, but summer is still in full swing where we live. This month we're sharing essential reads on justice, education, and system reform recommended by The Petey Greene Program staff. First up, Nina Mitukiewicz picks The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton.

"Reading this story in Anthony’s voice is a powerful reminder that those closest to the criminal-legal system (and those most unjustly affected by it), should be at the forefront of any and all efforts for reform and change." — Nina Mitukiewicz, Program Manager–Youth Programs, Massachusetts

We’ll be sharing at least 3 more must-read titles throughout the month! Keep an eye on our feed every Monday and Wednesday for our next picks.
