Education Post Incarceration: Opportunities and Challenges

Research shows that one of the key determinants of previously incarcerated people beating the cycle of recidivism is education. Challenges faced by previously incarcerated are extensive and the chance to undertake study is often a ‘pipedream’. The challenges are real and often are not only presented by the individual experiences but the misunderstanding or immature approaches to dealing with these challenges. Exploring the challenges faced by previously incarcerated people attempting to understand study will provide the opportunity for growth and development of the industry.
