Description

Male prisons can be dangerous places, with a climate of distrust underpinned by a divided atmosphere and survival is imperative for both physical and psychological wellbeing. Can long-term prisoners be given the space to reflect, and grow? This ground-breaking study found that engaging prisoners in philosophy education enabled them to think about some of the big questions in life and as a result to see themselves and others differently. Using the prisoners own words, Szifris shows the importance of this type of education for growth and development. She demonstrates how the philosophical dialogue led to a form of community which provided a space for self-reflection, pro-social interaction and communal exploration of ideas, which could have long-term positive consequences. About the Author Kirstine Szifris is Senior Research Associate at the Policy Evaluation and Research Unit, Manchester Metropolitan University. Before moving into academia, she worked as a teacher hosting philosophy clubs during lunchtimes and after school clubs. She has a PhD from Cambridge University which takes a humanistic approach in placing the prisoner's voice at the heart of the research.
