Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story captures the insight of a bright, intuitively smart young man who grew up in the low-income housing projects of Southeast, Washington, D.C. our nation's capital city. His name was Jimmy Black Blango, or better known as JB. He lived in the Barry Farms Housing projects at the height of a glorified drug market, in the midst of a culture of the celebrated thug life, gang violence, and mob-style crime. Aside from all that, it was a known fact that gang bangers pledged allegiance to serving time in jail. Even JB got caught up in an operation clean sweep on the streets of Washington, D.C., and was sent down to Lorton to serve his time. From there, his status on the streets of Washington, D.C., were upgraded to include street credits (i.e., the status of lieutenant) for serving a stench at what was once called the most notorious prison on the East Coast, the Lorton Correctional Complex. Now, that the prison was mandated by federal law to shut down, the criminal element on the outside decided to bring their drug enterprise on the inside. This in an effort to establish networks that reached beyond the District, and extended to all points targeted south. Yet due to the pending closure of the Lorton Complex and the greed amongst thieves, backstabbing gangbangers, cold-blooded killers, malicious cutthroat staffers, etc., caused the whole scam to blow up. At the end of the day, a nefarious culmination of unsavory conduct caused many elements of the Lorton Complex to suffer its unfortunate demise.

Book excerpt: "Higher Education and the Carceral State: Transforming Together explores the diversity of ways in which university faculty and students are intervening in the system of mass incarceration through the development of correctional education programs for students in correctional settings that often result in mutual learning among both populations. From arts and education courses offered in the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project at Auburn University to a degree granting program at the state prison in Lancaster with California State University, Los Angeles, and many more inspiring, innovative, and change-making programs, individuals and communities across multiple disciplines in higher education are actively breaking the cycle of shame and division inherent in mass incarceration through direct engagement. This book explores these programs through the lens of the artists, scholars, practitioners, and faculty that have launched and facilitate them and demonstrate the diverse ways in which interventions and partnerships can take shape and the impacts that they have on the lives of those involved. Throughout, the book features the voices of people with lived experience among faculty and students. Section One highlights the voices of students who are currently or formerly incarcerated while Section Two addresses diverse ways of collaborative through and across systems of corrections and education. Section Three features the voices of teaching artists while section four includes those that start and lead these programs, offering maps for others. Demonstrating the ways that higher education can intervene in and disrupt the deeply traumatic experience of incarceration and shift the embedded social-emotional cycles that lead to recidivism, this book is both inspiration and guide for those seeking to create and sustain programs as well as to educate students about the types of programs universities bring to prisons"--
Book Synopsis Critical Perspectives on Teaching in Prison by : Rebecca Ginsburg
Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Teaching in Prison written by Rebecca Ginsburg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes a case for engaging critical approaches for teaching adults in prison higher education (or “college-in-prison”) programs. This book not only contextualizes pedagogy within the specialized and growing niche of prison instruction, but also addresses prison abolition, reentry, and educational equity. Chapters are written by prison instructors, currently incarcerated students, and formerly incarcerated students, providing a variety of perspectives on the many roadblocks and ambitions of teaching and learning in carceral settings. All unapologetic advocates of increasing access to higher education for people in prison, contributors discuss the high stakes of teaching incarcerated individuals and address the dynamics, conditions, and challenges of doing such work. The type of instruction that contributors advocate is transferable beyond prisons to traditional campus settings. Hence, the lessons of this volume will not only support readers in becoming more thoughtful prison educators and program administrators, but also in becoming better teachers who can employ critical, democratic pedagogy in a range of contexts.
Book Synopsis Doing Time, Writing Lives by : Patrick W. Berry
Download or read book Doing Time, Writing Lives written by Patrick W. Berry and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing Time, Writing Lives offers a much-needed analysis of the teaching of college writing in U.S. prisons, a racialized space that—despite housing more than 2 million people—remains nearly invisible to the general public. Through the examination of a college-in-prison program that promotes the belief that higher education in prison can reduce recidivism and improve life prospects for the incarcerated and their families, author Patrick W. Berry exposes not only incarcerated students’ hopes and dreams for their futures but also their anxieties about whether education will help them. Combining case studies and interviews with the author’s own personal experience of teaching writing in prison, this book chronicles the attempts of incarcerated students to write themselves back into a society that has erased their lived histories. It challenges polarizing rhetoric often used to describe what literacy can and cannot deliver, suggesting more nuanced and ethical ways of understanding literacy and possibility in an age of mass incarceration.
Book Synopsis Liberating Minds by : Ellen Condliffe Lagemann
Download or read book Liberating Minds written by Ellen Condliffe Lagemann and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative and thought-provoking argument for offering free college in prisons—from the former dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Anthony Cardenales was a stickup artist in the Bronx before spending seventeen years in prison. Today he is a senior manager at a recycling plant in Westchester, New York. He attributes his ability to turn his life around to the college degree he earned in prison. Many college-in-prison graduates achieve similar success and the positive ripple effects for their families and communities, and for the country as a whole, are dramatic. College-in-prison programs have been shown to greatly reduce recidivism. They increase post-prison employment, allowing the formerly incarcerated to better support their families and to reintegrate successfully into their communities. College programs also decrease violence within prisons, improving conditions for both correction officers and the incarcerated. Liberating Minds eloquently makes the case for these benefits and also illustrates them through the stories of formerly incarcerated college students. As the country confronts its legacy of over-incarceration, college-in-prison provides a corrective on the path back to a more democratic and humane society. “Lagemann includes intensive research, but her most powerful supporting evidence comes from the anecdotes of former prisoners who have become published poets, social workers, and nonprofit leaders.”—Publishers Weekly
