Abstract
This paper is an examination of schooling in a Canadian prison based primarily on the author’s experience as a prisoner-tutor. The paper describes the school in regard to scope, teachers, students, content, and teaching and learning. The dominant feature of the school is the lack of priority given to education in prison in Canada. The paper concludes with five practical and low-cost suggestions for short-term improvement.
