Description

VOLUME 32, Number 1 (2023) is a special issue of the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons on “Walls to Bridges” (W2B) edited by Shoshana Pollack (Wilfrid Laurier University) and Christine Mayor (University of Manitoba). The collection features articles by alumni and professors marking the 10th anniversary of W2B, which offers for-credit courses through universities and colleges taught within correctional settings across Canada where an equal number of incarcerated (“inside”) students and university/college-based (“outside") students learn together as peers. The impact of the initiative behind and beyond prison walls, the role of collaborative learning and Indigenous ways of knowing, leadership by imprisoned people, and the experiences of anti-Black racism and colonization in and out of prison classrooms are just some of the themes addressed in this special issue. The collection also includes artwork by W2B alumni.
