Global collection of case studies in prison education

Education is a fundamental human right, of which prisoners should not be deprived. Lifelong learning opportunities in penitentiary contexts can empower individuals by equipping them with the tools to create new lives and livelihoods for themselves after release. Through fostering personal growth, and economic and social reintegration, prison education can result in lower rates of recidivism and promote more cohesive societies. In this context, gender-sensitive and human-centred approaches are key. Across the globe, inspiring efforts to promote prison education, including through the development of prison libraries, are being spearheaded by prison authorities, non-governmental organizations, civil society groups, international organizations and educational institutions, among others. The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning launched an online collection to showcase innovative and effective practices in this area. Learn more https://www.uil.unesco.org/en/prison-...
