This yearbook on correctional education contends correctional education has little meaning if it does not change behavior and discusses several topics related to themes of social maturation and democratic processes from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
Abstract
The first chapter of the yearbook deals with the connection between guilt and grief in the punishment of criminals. Subsequent chapters look at the kind of curriculum that should be developed in correctional education to facilitate positive change, the issue of social maturity in correctional education, the role of correctional education in helping prisoners become citizens, rehabilitation, and punishment. Perspectives are offered on democratic processes in Spanish prisons and particular correctional education programs attempted in the United States in Arizona and Ohio. The final chapter of the yearbook describes the personal relationship between a prisoner and his mentor. References, tables, and figures
