摘要：What are the goals of Adult Education in Canada’s Penal system? How is its curriculum devised and on what philosophical principles lay its foundation? Adult education is offered to inmates regardless of their existing knowledge base or prior educational success. Completion by Canadian inmates of the many educational programs offered to them results in higher levels of inmate self-worth, self-esteem and lower reported rates of criminal activity and recidivism.
