- catalog abstract "This is the first critical perspective on prison education. It is a marked departure from a literature dominated by descriptions of the criminal mind and correctional education strategies to cure it. Davidson's contributors are prisoners or former prisoners who finished their schooling in prison, some taking advanced degrees, or social scientists who taught in prisons but are not professional correctional educators. Conventionally, prison education is about correcting cognitive deficiencies and improving job opportunities. Here the issues are schooling as surveillance, as politics, and as a means to re/construct a historical consciousness that re/members personal histories. The essays examine prison schools as they originated and developed, identify processes of differentiation and segregation, expose contradictions, and recount occurrences of prison resistance. There are chapters on self-government as a form of education in the prisons, women prisoners and education, and the irony that most prisoners believe in the American Dream while often being victims of socioeconomic inequity.".
