Exactly. Damian has untreated dyslexia. He can read but it was really difficult for him so like a lot of men he just didn’t do it much. Once he was inside he began to read more because of boredom.
He taught himself tricks to make it easier and due to having so much time on his hands just sheer stubbornness prevailed lol.
But a lot of guys in there don’t have the skill or patience to do it. And for a long time there weren’t even GED classes bc they weren’t allowing outside volunteers. There is one now but that isn’t a literacy program. As you well know, it isn’t the same thing.
