This edited collection encourages philosophical exploration of the
nature, aims, contradictions, promises and problems of the practice
of education within prisons around the world. Such exploration is
particularly necessary given the complex operational barriers to
education, and higher education in particular, within prison-based
teaching and learning. These operational barriers are matched by
cultural and polemical barriers, such as the criticism of diverting
resources to and spending money on prisoner education when the cost
of some education seems prohibitive for people outside prison. More
so than in other education contexts, prison education may fall
short of higher ideals because it is shot through with both
practical and moral-political problems and challenges, especially
in the age of global late capitalism, high technology and mass
incarceration or securitization. This book includes insights and
issues around a wide range of areas including: ethics, religion,
sociology, justice, identity and political and moral philosophy.
