摘要：Education and vocational training in prison are the main preconditions for a successful integration of ex-prison-ers into society and the prevention of recidivism after release. There are many projects to improve the educa-tion of prisoners and most of them are practised with financial support of the European Union in the Euro-pean Member States. In this regard the following sub-jects will be discussed: 聲 The main international legal instruments con-cerning the education of prisoners 聲 A view on education and training in general and on the effectiveness of the education of prisoners in relation to their resettlement in community 聲 Some of the research results found recently in three Dutch prisons concerning the prisoners' views and experiences with education, voca-tional training and work during the execution of their prison sentence 聲 Some results of the experiments with multi-media and e-learning in prison.
