This volume examines the nuance and complexity of teaching for greater social justice under surveillance and constraint. It presents an inquiry-based methodology for designing and implementing meaningful teaching and learning in literacy courses offered in American jails and prisons.
As political tides shift and funding for college-in-prison programming ebbs and flows, educators who work in these contexts are often left with few resources for questioning their practice and their field. To that end, this book aims to encourage dialogue, to ask educators to interrogate their values, beliefs, and practices with and about college-in-prison programming and the students those programs serve. By consulting the works of Paulo Freire and Ernst Bloch, this text seeks to present a methodology for best designing and implementing a meaningful literacy pedagogy for incarcerated students at the nexus of social, political, and educational contexts.

Gregory Bruno, Ph.D. (2019), Teachers College, Columbia University, is Assistant Professor of English and Co-coordinator of the Composition Sequence at Kingsborough Community College. He has designed and facilitated college-in-prison programs in New York, published on student debt, writing pedagogy, and community colleges, and contributed chapters on college-in-prison pedagogy.
