Education Opportunities in Prison
Education for all has been a principle of social justice for a long time. It was already formulated by French philosopher Nicolas de Condorcet in the 18th century (Condorcet 2009 [1791]). An activist for human rights, universal equality and freedom. He proposed a system of free public education in order to educate citizens equally. Then as now, the principle makes a lot of sense in terms of fostering active citizenship, and the right to education should indeed be recognised as a right for all human beings regardless of their social or legal circumstances.
Rather than spending more to house the growing prison population and to fund excessive rates of incarceration, the state should focus instead on supporting rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.
