Vocation, vocation: A study of prisoner education for women
Ceridwen Spark and Anita Harris
Journal of Sociology 41(2), June 2005
This article addresses the education of women in prison in relation to an emerging area of research and policy concern: vocational training. [...] Demonstrating the disparity between stated government aims for inmate women’s education and training and the motivations of the women themselves, the authors argue that prisoner education for women ought to be conceptualized in relation to a range of factors and not merely conceived of as a path to employment.
