Storybook Program:
EFry’s Storybook program brings parents and children together through the power of reading. EFry supplies new, age-appropriate books and records inmate parents reading them aloud. A CD player and the recordings are then sent to their children, giving them an opportunity to share a story together. The Storybook program is one of EFry’s most successful prison programs. It is available at Alouette Correctional Centre for Women, Fraser Valley Institution and Surrey Pretrial Centre. Due to its popularity with both mothers and fathers at Surrey Pretrial, the Storybook program was expanded into the all-male Ferndale Institution in early 2010.
