Offender Learning and Prison Education

Wilkinson, Sharron

Abstract

Using concepts drawn from complexity, organizational and management theories, the chapter considers the role and purpose of prison education and its place within the English prison system. What it is like to work in offender learning and the experiences of the prison education workforce are not widely known. The chapter aims to shed light on this part of the FE sector and the experiences of those who work in it.
