Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
According to US Bureau of Prisons the prison population is growing across the country.
And more and more of them are women.
In fact, in 2003, women prisoners increased by 5-Percent, men by 2-point--7 percent.
A Bedford social scientist wanted to know why.
So, Dr. Alicen-J McGowan produced a documentary on some of the women at the Goffstown prison for women.
We'll talk to Dr. McGowan in a moment. But first, a look at part one of her series.

Joining me now to talk about the project is Alicen-J McGowan. Dr. McGowan is a visiting lecturer of criminal justice and psychology at U Mass Lowell. She also hosts a program on Bedford Cable Access Television called "Forensic Psychology Today."

2 What's happened to Billie -- since your interview?
3 Do you believe women who commit crimes should take responsibility for their actions?

5 Drugs and alcohol
script iconIntro McLaughlin

You interviewed several women in your series. One of those women is Susan McLaughlin.
We'll talk about her case in a moment, but first, let's hear some of her story.
script iconQ&A#2 McGowan
Return to index of stories...
1 We heard a fraction of susan's story. Why do you think her parole was denied?
What's next for her?
2 You call yourself a Forensic Filmmaker. What does that mean?
3 How did you get access to the women inside the prison?
4 Who is the intended audience? Will it be distributed?
5 What is the biggest lesson you learned in speaking with these women?
script iconIntro Storytime
Return to index of stories...
Children whose parents are incarcareted are often the forgotten victims. The absence of a parent can have a lasting influence on a child's life and learning.
A program called "Project Storytime" works with parents behind bars to help them encourage their children's literacy development -- and also to promote family bonding.
Through "Project Storytime," NHPTV conducts parenting workshops on family literacy and provides books for the parents to select for reading aloud.
NHPTV also videotapes 15-minute segments of a parent reading aloud, and sends a videotape of the reading -- and the book that was read to the child.
Joining us now to talk about the program is Pat Van Wagoner, NHPTV's Ready to Learn Coordinator.
Q Pat: Walk us thru the process. How do you make the CONNECTION with parents and what's involved in getting
video tapes to children?
script iconDiscussion Storytime
Return to index of stories...
Q NHPTV's "Project Storytime" focus on the LAKES REGION CORRECTIONAL FACILITY in Laconia?
Any plans to EXPAND the reach?
Q Who's taking advantage of the program -- because it is voluntary?
Q What do you hope to accomplish with the program?
Q Do you target populations such as low-income families, or those with limited literacy?
Q To those who might say --inmates shouldn't receive special privledges -- since they're being punished for taking away someone else's rights -- what would you SAY?
Q What kind of advice do you give parents -- in their role as STORY TELLER?
Q Project Storytime is a year-and-a-half old? How's it going, are you getting ANY FEEDBACK?
Q Is there any way to know if parents are CONNECTING with their kids?
Q Any personal stories that affected you in doing this assignment?
Q I know you don't know why the INMATES are in jail -- you don't get into that. But, do they share information about their kids with you.
Q Parents you've worked with are short-timers -- are you hoping they'll continue this bonding and literacy
effort once their released?
Q Parent SANG to a child?
Q If there was one thing you'd want the public to know about this project.what would it be.
PAT VANWAGONER.
