Crafting Convict Criminologists: An Invitation to Join Us in Prison

As the second age of prison education begins to take shape with the reintroduction of Pell Grants to incarcerated people across the United States, there is a need for both effective teachers and effective teaching techniques. As previously and currently incarcerated educators, we offer a brief overview of imposter syndrome in prison while mapping a pathway through the use of communication for overcoming obstacles to education present in correctional settings. We end with a call for educators both inside and outside of prison to expand and pilot in-prison educational programs.
