ANNOTATION: Key issues related to the field of prison education and training are examined. Even though this report has a Eurocentric view, its observations can be applied to challenges and opportunities found in the education and training of prisoners in correctional facilities in the United States. There is also an excellent bibliography with links to a multitude of other reports related to inmate education and training. Four topical areas are treated to “in-depth review, based on the availability of literature and an assessment of the added value which could be gained by conducting further research into the specific topics” (p. 2). This report is divided into six parts: introduction; prison as positive environment for learning; prison education and training for employability; prison education in specific subject areas; effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and public value if prison education and training; and summary of conclusions and recommendations for future research.
