WHY TEACH PRISONERS ?
In spite of all their errors and crimes:
- they are human beings
- they are socially excluded (citizens)
- They are the outcome/the product of a wrong way of living
- they are the result of school nonachievement and exclusion
- They are the result of the lack of studies
It is important to:
- integrate them socially
- help them to find a better future
MY EXPERIENCE TEACHING PRISONERS- I teach men between the ages of
20 and 30.
- They are adults without education.
- Some started the primary school in prison and reached university.
HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS?
