Prison Education Is Dangerous
ABSTRACT In this chapter, I argue that prison education is dangerous. In a context where individual incarcerated people have restricted autonomy, non‐incarcerated students, staff, and faculty from colleges and universities can cause real harm by neglecting to consider the vast power differentials between non‐ or never‐incarcerated educators and students in prison.
