Post Secondary Education in a Prison Theory and Praxis
Abstract
A discussion of the replicability of the University of Victoria program at Matsqui Institu- tion in terms of other prisons in North America. The theory behind the program is discussed, i.e., Kohlberg's theory of moral development and its relationship to behavior. The program is analyzed in terms of relations with the institution, type of courses, the necessity of establishing an alternative community within the prison and the type of staff necessary to maintain the program. The necessity of encouraging a "student identity "is stressed in order to facilitate the development process implicit in the program.
