The content and quality of prisoner education in Queensland, Australia, was reviewed. The review focused on the following topics: prisoners' rights and responsibilities in general and their rights to rehabilitation and education in particular; the structural, organizational, and attitudinal barriers to correctional education; available and needed capital and equipment resources; steps toward and the need for development of a coherent and integrated education and training service; the special needs of women in prison and policies needed to meet them; sentence management and education and training; and education and training of custodial correctional officers. Information for the review was gathered through interviews with representatives of churches, prisoner aid groups, aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander interest groups, correctional officers' associations, and government departments and agencies. The review resulted in 70 recommendations, including calls for specific program improvements at individual correctional institutions and general program improvement measures directed toward the Queensland Corrective Services Commission.
