Education is basically the SOUL of a community that is shared and passed from one generation to another. If someone is going down the wrong path it is education that will and should turn them around. In her book "Education for the SOUL Behind the Prison Walls", the Hon. D. Neletha Butterfield, M.B.E., J.P. highlights herstory, involvement, encouragement, teachings and experience in educating the inmates of the correctional facilities in Bermuda - The Senior Training School, The Female Prison (now Co-Ed Correctional Facility, Prison Farm and Casemates Prison (now Westgate Correctional Facility) from computer studies to African education studies and from mathematics and reading to the G.E.D. programme (high school diploma). She ventured on this prison educational journey in 1984 on the request of Mr. Edwin C. Wilson, first Educational Officer with Her Majesty's Prison, as well as a former Commissioner of Prisons. Mr. Wilson in his wisdom contacted her and asked if she can assist in teaching at the prison facilities with her G.E.D. and computer programmes. She accepted and taught for approximately 20 years successfully assisting one hundred and fifty inmates in receiving their GED (high school diplomas) and over three hundred inmates in receiving basic educational skills and computer training. As the founder of the General Education Development (GED) programme, the computer programme and the African studies programme in the correctional facilities, in 1985 Butterfield held the first graduation ceremony in the prisons and through her vision, the educational programmes and graduation ceremony continues to flourish today.In this book you will read appreciation messages, poems and letters from inmates, graduation programmes, letters of congratulations and thanks from the legislature and the community, newspaper articles and more on her role as the co-founder of Prison Fellowship, Chairman of the Treatment of Offenders Board and her account of an instructors' day in the prison. She currently volunteers her educational services as she believes giving back is the key to her success behind the prison walls."Prison itself is a tremendous education in the need for patience and perseverance. It is above all a test of one's commitment." ― Nelson Mandela

Prison. Just reading the word conjures up mental images of harshness and negativity. While the word 'criminal' summons feelings of fear, disgust, anger, aggression, and revenge. These near-universal feelings about criminals are the foundation of prisons as places where harm, through neglect, indifference, and paucity, festers and replicates like a virus. For this reason, any conversation about prison and its potential for anything other than harm must start with the people who live there. In The Shadow of Childhood Harm, Wolff, using a balance of compassion and evidence, takes readers through the lives of people who end up inside prison. Guided by the words of those who have lived the experience of harm, she weaves an expansive body of research that lays bare the harm that began in childhood (the curse) and its subsequent shadow that later, during adolescence and adulthood, manifests as harm to self and others, eventually culminating in crime that results in incarceration, where harm there, once again, repeats like a bad dream. With authority and rigor, Wolff uses ethics, law, science, and compassion, to call out the anti-humanism roots underpinning the (un)intelligent design of the current correctional system and rings in a new way of intelligently designing and maintaining a just, fair, and person-centered system of asylum of and for humanity.

Incarcerated bodies, liberated minds: a narrative of literacy education behind bars. Words No Bars Can Hold provides a rare glimpse into literacy learning under the most dehumanizing conditions. Deborah Appleman chronicles her work teaching college- level classes at a high- security prison for men, most of whom are serving life sentences. Through narrative, poetry, memoir, and fiction, the students in Appleman’s classes attempt to write themselves back into a society that has erased their lived histories. The students’ work, through which they probe and develop their identities as readers and writers, illuminates the transformative power of literacy. Appleman argues for the importance of educating the incarcerated, and explores ways to interrupt the increasingly common journey from urban schools to our nation’s prisons. From the sobering endpoint of what scholars have called the “school to prison pipeline,” she draws insight from the narratives and experiences of those who have traveled it.
