This book was released on 1992 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to obtain a broad view of the development and structure of the program of college education conducted at the Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP) in Salem, Oregon to arrive at a means to explicate program effectiveness. This research problem encompassed the compilation and interpretation of an historical chronicle, based upon the views of program participants, including inmate-students, teachers, and administrators, directed at the history, development, and structure of the program. The specific research objectives of this investigation included the following: 1) Review of the existing literature describing schooling within prisons; 2) development of a research protocol; and 3) utilization of the developed protocol to conduct research on the development and structure of the college education program at OSP, including: a. a record of the overall effectiveness of the program and the degree to which it has been accepted, based upon the attitudes and feelings of past and present program participants, to include inmate-students, teachers, administrators, and volunteers, and b. a chronicle of the development and status of the college education program as perceived within the community in which it has been administered. These research objectives were achieved by application of a triangular methodology involving a review of appropriate literature, personal observations, and interviews with past and present staff members as well as student-inmates in the OSP college education programs. Thus it was concluded, subject to persistent communication problems that would seem to be inevitable when the principles of "academic freedom" are introduced into the closed and restrictive penitentiary environment, that the college education program at OSP has been successful in the view of inmate-students, education and prison staffs, and concerned institutional administrators. It may be foreseen that, as teachers presently employed at OSP quit or retire, all academic and vocational education at OSP, with the exception of baccalaureate programs, will in the future be contracted through existing community college programs. With the continued development of education programs within state penal institutions, communicative research should continue apace to minimize potential conflicts between the programs for the different types of programs offered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has a dual purpose: to identify problems faced by people who teach in correctional institutions and to propose solutions for those problems. The intent of this book is to help both new instructors as well as current ones perform their jobs effectively. The book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the reader to the field of correctional education, describing correctional efforts in America, the kinds of facilities, the inmate populations, and the controversies, including advocates and critics, over providing educational opportunities. A description is provided on the kinds of educational and rehabilitation programs, including the varieties and sources of teachers and administrators. Part two explores the teaching process and how students are analyzed on their abilities, learning disorders, gender, ethnicity, gang membership, length of imprisonment, and reasons for enrolling in educational programs. Each chapter is divided into two major sections: the first section studies the perspective and the second section concerns problems and solutions. Each problem is posed as a brief case study that includes the nature of a particular problem, factors affecting decisions about what a teacher might do, and one or more proposed solutions. Part three summarizes key concepts from the previous chapters and speculates about the state of correctional education in the years ahead. It will be of interest to those who contemplate a career in correctional education, those who are already in correctional education, or those who simply want to learn what teaching in a prison, jail, or juvenile facility is all about.

Book excerpt: After conducting a comprehensive literature search, the authors undertook a meta-analysis to examine the association between correctional education and reductions in recidivism, improvements in employment after release from prison, and other outcomes. The study finds that receiving correctional education while incarcerated reduces inmates' risk of recidivating and may improve their odds of obtaining employment after release from prison.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of incarcerated women who participated in a service-learning program to help the homeless. Service-learning is effective pedagogy for involving students in civic engagement, and their involvement has been shown to increase the self-esteem of participating college students. This study looked for similar impacts on incarcerated women. This study used three data collection methods with an existing service-learning program in Coffee Creek Woman's Correctional Facility to look at the essence of incarcerated women's shared experience of being in prison and participating in a service-learning program. Three research questions were the basis for the study: (a) What are the lived experiences of incarcerated women participating in the Coffee Creek Sock Drive? (b) How did their attitudes and perceptions of the homeless, volunteer work, or program involvement change because of their participation? (c) In what ways, if any, did the incarcerated women's perceptions of themselves change? How do they perceive themselves as a result of participating in this program? Did they experience any shift in self-esteem? The data revealed seven predominant themes. These themes were: 1. Civic engagement and connection to the community a. Frustration with the government's lack of help for the homeless 2. Increased knowledge about the topic of homelessness and the four agency partners that led to a shift in attitude about the homeless 3. Gratitude for what they have 4. Pride in being able to give back to the community/Public perception 5. Sadness and empathy for the homeless 6. Personal growth through self-reflection 7. Enjoyment and excitement The themes were interpreted and supported by the related literature. The three research questions were also considered with related literature. This study gave voice to the incarcerated women who participated and supported their ability to contribute to the literature. The implications of this study may impact future service-learning programs for students in nontraditional education facilities. It may inform correctional facilities' educational programs as well as established service-learning programs.
