Thinking about education in prisons:

Abstract

The article presents an invitation to think about education in prison schools from new challenges and possibilities. In a first moment called “A question, a principle, a proposal...” it seeks to show possible ways of thinking; in a second moment called “What do prisoner students expect from us teachers?” it seeks to think about the question and its challenges; in a third moment called “Is the intellectual emancipation of the prisoner students the work of the prisoner students themselves?” it seeks to think about the principle and its possibilities; in a fourth moment called “Is it necessary to ask about prison education to those who have an prison experience or a relationship with it?” it seeks to think about the proposal and its consequences; and, in a last moment called “And...?” it seeks to reinforce the initial invitation. It is a study with a theoretical nature carried out through conceptual investigation in different bibliographic sources.
