Being illiterate, many people can not find jobs and are not capable of providing for their families which unfortunately may lead to theft in order to give their families what they need. Without any take-home pay from a job, poverty can occur, which can also lead to criminal behaviors. Statistics have found that more than half of prison inmates are illiterate and 85% of all the minors that are arrested have trouble reading
