      abstract = {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.
