CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) They’ve taken it into juvenile detention centers, onto film and over television, but this fall, University of Virginia students and their professor will take Russian literature into the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
The program Books Behind Bars: Life, Literature, and Leadership will bring UVa students into the jail each week to meet with inmates and explore life’s meaning, its value and concepts of social justice through the prose of Russian writers.
The program, set to launch in the fall, is a joint effort by jail Superintendent Martin Kumer, Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania and Andrew Kaufman, assistant director of community-engaged learning initiatives and a Russian literature professor at UVa.
