New England is a treasure house filled with many different types of spiritual, cultural, historical, and other resources. Included in this treasure trove is a rich mixture of individuals and community service organizations that are working to address a particular concern or group of concerns.
One such person is Mari Dias, a Johnson & Wales University associate professor of social sciences, who teaches literature to inmates at the Maximum Security Unit, Rhode Island Adult Correctional Institutions. This effort is not about teaching literature per se, but it is designed to help the inmates learn emotional maturity.
