Incarcerated Spirit.
Davis, Carolyn E.
Educational Leadership, v56 n4 p74-75 Dec-Jan 1998-1999
Incarceration, mandatory education, and the freedom to learn all present confounding, yet novel realities for Arizona State Prison inmates assessed below eighth grade levels in reading, language, or mathematics. A profound transition occurs when prisoners choose to succeed in this second-chance program. When they truly appreciate learning's spiritual aspects, their education becomes a gift. (MLH)
