“…No México, existe uma grave desvalorização da educação de adultos, sendo a situação ainda pior no que à educação nas prisões diz respeito. Os resultados das pesquisas de Rangel Torrijo (2019) demonstram que as prisões privatizadas, no México, além de gerarem um maior custo, violam ainda mais o direito à educação. Nesse sentido, "[...] a educação prisional institucionaliza o respeito aos direitos humanos e reforça a lei, fazendo com que a instituição penal ganhe legitimidade, ao invés de promover o imaginário punitivo."…”

RESUMO O artigo analisa políticas de educação em prisões, no quadro do direito à educação, das 10 maiores populações prisionais mundiais identificadas na base de dados World Prison Brief, do Instituto de Pesquisa de Política Criminal da Universidade de Londres, que agrega dados mundiais sobre o sistema prisional. Sobre a educação nas prisões desses dez países, mobilizou artigos publicados em revistas indexadas na SCOPUS e EBSCOhost, no período de 2015 a 2021, e documentos oficiais de políticas educacionais e penais. O estudo mostrou que, apesar do avanço jurídico-normativo internacional, ainda está por assegurar, em alguns países, o direito à educação nas prisões. As concepções de educação em que se apoiam oscilam entre: educação como formação (emancipação); educação como treinamento correcional (doutrinação); e educação como discurso jurídico-normativo (adesão teórica aos pactos internacionais). Essas duas últimas mostram ser urgente promover debates no quadro da Agenda 2030 das Nações Unidas.

“…In general, macro-political discourses have an important regulatory role that impacts organizational and community views about the use of DT in prison education. A punitive orientation or a rehabilitative logic of incarceration determines whether and how to learn in prison, despite its specificity (Torrijo & De Maeyer, 2019). Some authors (e.g., Crabbe, 2016;Moreira, et al, 2017b;Roth, et al, 2016), to face situations that enhance the social exclusion of inmates, reinforced the need for political decisions regarding prison education, including education supported by DT.…”

“…Some authors (e.g., Crabbe, 2016;Moreira, et al, 2017b;Roth, et al, 2016), to face situations that enhance the social exclusion of inmates, reinforced the need for political decisions regarding prison education, including education supported by DT. The socio-political perspectives on LL (instrumental versus humanistic) underlie the difference between education and training in prison (Hopkins, 2015;Hopkins & Farley, 2014;Mertanen & Brunila, 2018;Torrijo & De Maeyer, 2019). According to Costelloe and Warner (2014, p. 23), "Education in prison across much of Europe is often far less than it can be, as a result of two related over-simplifications: rather than seeing 'the whole person in the prisoner, we see only the criminal; and rather than offer adult education in all its challenging richness, we offer only a limited range of 'skills" (Costelloe & Warner, 2014, p. 23).…”

The challenges of a knowledge-based society require the development of digital skills recognizing the potential of learning supported by technologies. Within this scope, and based on research published over the last decade, a scoping review of 66 articles was performed to create a framework derived from existing literature to analyze approaches to identify views about learning supported by digital technologies in prison environments. The results allowed both the presentation of an evolutionary perspective of the state of art regarding digital technologies in prison education and to identify four views: Technical, Humanistic, Regulatory, and Organizational, and Community. These views and the critical recognition of the approach that underpins them can contribute to understanding complementary roads to reach the political goals recommended for contemporary prison education, putting the focus on the promotion of conditions of lifelong learning in line with the challenges of the 21st century.

“…Access to education is a challenge for many individuals inside and outside prison. Some scholars argue that access to education is a right and institutions represent a unique setting where individuals deserve opportunities to educate themselves (Torrijo & De Maeyer, 2019). Incarcerated individuals have lower literacy rates than the general public (Greenberg et al, 2007).…”

About half of incarcerated individuals housed in state prisons reported participation in educational or vocational programming (Harlow, 2003). These programs serve as a way to fill a disparity gap since the prison population tends to have literacy, education, and employment needs. Participation in education programs can result in positive impacts on reentry outcomes (e.g., reduced recidivism, increased employment outcomes) (Bozick et al., 2018). However, the characteristics of effective education programs remains a “black box” in terms of instructional strategies and classroom practices. This study examined the characteristics of over 200 literacy, general education, vocation/apprenticeship, and college courses across 28 prisons in one state. Interviews, observations, and staff surveys were used to gather data related to leadership, classroom management, and quality assurance practices in prison-based education departments. The results revealed substantial differences across programs and facilities. Implications for future research and opportunities to reduce social disparity through prison education are discussed.
