The "Prisoners Are People" Perspective--And the Problems of Promoting Learning Where This Outlook Is Rejected.

Warner, Kevin

Journal of Correctional Education, v49 n3 p118-32 Sep 1998

Explores the philosophy in the Council of Europe's European Prison Rules and a report advocating a transformative adult education orientation in corrections. Contrasts this perspective with current Anglo-American penal policy, in which negative stereotypes, vengeful attitudes, and massive increases in incarceration are inimical to genuine education. (SK)
