Abstract	The purpose of this study is to gain knowledge about how prisoners' academic self-efficacy, educational motives, and aspects of their prison sentences affect their educational participation while incarcerated. The article reports on data from a national survey on prisoners with Norwegian citizenship. The results revealed that prisoners who had higher scores on self-efficacy for self-regulated learning and mathematics self-efficacy were more likely than those with lower scores to participate in education. The reverse was, however, true for literacy self-efficacy, showing that with higher scores, participation was less likely. With regard to educational motives, higher scores on the educational motive of competence building predicted participation in education. Prisoners sentenced to more than three months were more likely to participate than those serving shorter sentences. Likewise, prisoners who had served between one-third and two-thirds of the sentence participated more often than others. The implications of the results will be discussed. (As Provided).
