For decades, the United States has been locked in a pattern of exceptionally high mass incarceration. Though education has proven to be impactful, its role and the level of support it receives varies widely, so that opportunities for incarcerated people to reroute their lives during and after incarceration remain diffuse and inefficient. This volume highlights unique contributions from the field of education in prison, as academics and practitioners highlight new approaches and findings from carceral interventions in ten countries. From a college degree program in Mexico to educational best practices in Norway and Belgium that support successful reentry, innovations in education are being developed in prison spaces around the world. As contributors from many countries share their insights about providing effective educational programs to incarcerated people, the United States can learn from the models and struggles beyond its borders.
