This book was released on 2004 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More a collection of essays and other writings than "conversations" per se, this work presents work penned by male prison inmates involved in postsecondary education programs behind prison walls. The collection is presented by Lichtman (English, Columbia College) with the intention of demonstrating the value of such programs. The writings sometimes directly reflect on inmates' experiences with educational programs but more often simply reveal their experiences of prison and education through essays, fiction, and poetry.

Download or read book Philosophy Behind Bars written by Szifris, Kirstine and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-term prisoners need to be given the space to reflect, and grow. This ground-breaking study found that engaging prisoners in philosophy education enabled them to think about some of the ‘big’ questions in life and as a result to see themselves and others differently. Using the prisoners’ own words, Szifris shows the importance of this type of education for growth and development. She demonstrates how the philosophical dialogue led to a form of community which provided a space for self-reflection, pro-social interaction and communal exploration of ideas, which could have long-term positive consequences.

Download or read book Education for Liberation written by Gerard Robinson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 650,000 men and women, approximately the size of the city of Memphis, TN, return home from prison every year. Oftentimes with some pocket change and a bus ticket, they reenter society and struggle to find work, housing, a supportive social network. Economic barriers, the stigma of a felony conviction, and mental health and addiction challenges make reentry a bleak picture, leading some to return to a life of crime. A Department of Justice study of 404,638 inmates in 30 states released in 2005, for example, identified that 68 percent were rearrested within 3 years and 77 percent within 5 years of release. Education and workforce readiness programs must be central components in better preparing individuals to successfully reenter society – and stay out of prison. This book compiles chapters written by individuals on the right and the left of the political spectrum, and within and outside the fields of prison education and reentry that address this need for reform. Chapters feature the voices of prominent national figures pushing for reform, current and former students who have benefitted from an education program while in prison, those teaching or managing educational programs within prison, and researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy influencers.
