- **Event Description**: Part of the Justice Forum series for the discussion of books and ideas on justice, equality, and mass incarceration.About this EventThe struggle of political prisoners for the right to education during their imprisonment and exile, the clandestine schools that they set up, the fight for access to books, all attest to the importance of education as part of a wider project of political and social emancipation. So does research that has shown that confined education rehabilitates the non-political prisoner, fosters a democratic and equitable environment in the Pr*son, and helps to reduce recidivism. Why, then, is Pr*son education considered a privilege and not a means, as Bentham said, “to prevent transgressing; to save punishing?” The strike of the guards in the New York State prisons in 2025 put a stop to most programming and set Pr*son education backwards. The assault on programming followed long-term and systematic strictures placed on Pr*son education as prisons constrict class time, withhold clearance of books, discourage faculty by making entrance to facilities onerous, disallow even controlled access to electronic libraries and educational search engines, and force instruction to outdated pedagogical modalities. Additionally, Pr*son education has to grapple with an inherent pedagogical challenge: the non-homogeneity of the Pr*son population and the Pr*son classroom present drastically different levels of preparation, aptitude, and motivation that upset the educational models deployed on the outside. At this time that education is under attack by the government that has taken an oath to protect it, we rearticulate the position that education is a foundational and universal right. About the PanelistsWilliam Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (retired), has written extensively about social justice and democracy, education and the cultural contexts of schooling, and teaching as an essentially intellectual, ethical, and political enterprise.
