Abstract | A conversation with a John Howard Society volunteer prompts the author to reflect on how to improve educational opportunities for his incarcerated Aboriginal peers. He relates his personal experience of completing an undergraduate degree while in prison, highlighting the ways in which the prison environment has shaped his learning process. After making recommendations on how to improve higher learning opportunities for Aboriginal prisoners, the author appeals to economic and social justice considerations for public support. He concludes by sharing his dream of an inclusive Canada that provides equal opportunity for Aboriginal prisoners who seek freedom through education. (Contains 7 endnotes.) (As Provided). |
