Abstract | This digest discusses issues and challenges in providing English language instruction to Latino and other linguistically diverse (LCD) incarcerated youth, aged 16-24, suggesting best practices and models to provide this intervention in correctional settings. It focuses on th following: the rationale for instruction (the instruction that LCD youth receive in correctional facilities may be the first positive learning experience in their lives); issues affecting incarcerated youth (disconnection, parenting, and mismatch of facility and educational goals); issues specific to LCD incarcerated youth (e.g., limited English proficiency and cultural knowledge and interrupted or inadequate education); factors to consider when designing programs (provide students with a learning environment built on mutual respect, implement a variety of motivational strategies, develop literacy skills through a balanced approach that combines basic skills instruction with functional uses of literacy, support native language literacy development, promote family literacy, and offer a variety of educational programs); and transitional programs (programs should include specific academic and transitional components and support services after release in order to succeed).
