Education on the Inside 2011

The ACJRD held the seminar: Education on the inside - a view of the educational process in Irish Detention Schools and Prisons on Tuesday 5th October 2011 at the Law Society of Ireland.

The seminar was co-presented by: Anne Marie Byrne IRCHSS Ph.D candidate, St Patrick’s College Drumcondra who spoke on Education for young offenders in detention schools; and Jane Carrigan Ph.D candidate, St Patrick's College Drumcondra who spoke on Education for adult prisoners, from a life-history point of view.

The event was very well attended and an interesting and interactive discussion followed the presentations.

Thanks to Anne Marie and Jane and to all present for their contributions to this enjoyable event.

Both Anne-Marie and Jane are continuing with their research and we hope to have copies of their final reports available at a future date.
