Prisons as Places of Hope and Transformative Learning

Abstract

Education is a scarce but treasured resource in state prisons. Appreciative Inquiry allows us to imagine prisons as places of hope rather than retributive punishment. This article discusses transformative learning in prison and encourages readers to imagine a system where prisoners are encouraged to engage in college courses and work toward redemption and rehabilitation rather than simply ‘doing time’
