Vocation, vocation: A study of prisoner education for women
This article addresses the education of women in prison in relation to an
emerging area of research and policy concern: vocational training. Using interviews
with women prisoners in Victoria, it investigates why inmate women
participate in education programmes, what education programmes the
women would like to see implemented and what barriers exist in terms of
women’s participation in education. Demonstrating the disparity between
stated government aims for inmate women’s education and training and the
motivations of the women themselves, the authors argue that prisoner education
for women ought to be conceptualized in relation to a range of factors
and not merely conceived of as a path to employment
