ABSTRACT This article describes some of the methodology, practice and effect of reading groups run by Prison Reading Groups (PRG), which currently operates in 60 prisons across the UK, and is supported by the charity Give A Book. Groups choose what they want to read together and how they will read it. Reading aloud can aid literacy as well as being a force for collaboration and pleasure. Poetry can thrive in this environment, despite initial wariness, and Shakespeare has found some new and enthusiastic readers.

入狱二十年：在监狱阅读小组中大声朗读

摘要 本文描述了监狱阅读小组 (PRG) 运营的阅读小组的一些方法论、实践和效果，该小组目前在英国 60 所监狱开展活动，并得到慈善机构 Give A Book 的支持。小组选择他们想一起阅读的内容以及他们将如何阅读。大声朗读有助于提高读写能力，同时也是一种协作和愉悦的力量。尽管最初谨慎，诗歌可以在这种环境中蓬勃发展，莎士比亚找到了一些新的和热情的读者。
