Education is basically the SOUL of a community that is shared and passed from one generation to another. If someone is going down the wrong path it is education that will and should turn them around. In her book "Education for the SOUL Behind the Prison Walls", the Hon. D. Neletha Butterfield, M.B.E., J.P. highlights herstory, involvement, encouragement, teachings and experience in educating the inmates of the correctional facilities in Bermuda - The Senior Training School, The Female Prison (now Co-Ed Correctional Facility, Prison Farm and Casemates Prison (now Westgate Correctional Facility) from computer studies to African education studies and from mathematics and reading to the G.E.D. programme (high school diploma). She ventured on this prison educational journey in 1984 on the request of Mr. Edwin C. Wilson, first Educational Officer with Her Majesty's Prison, as well as a former Commissioner of Prisons. Mr. Wilson in his wisdom contacted her and asked if she can assist in teaching at the prison facilities with her G.E.D. and computer programmes. She accepted and taught for approximately 20 years successfully assisting one hundred and fifty inmates in receiving their GED (high school diplomas) and over three hundred inmates in receiving basic educational skills and computer training. As the founder of the General Education Development (GED) programme, the computer programme and the African studies programme in the correctional facilities, in 1985 Butterfield held the first graduation ceremony in the prisons and through her vision, the educational programmes and graduation ceremony continues to flourish today.In this book you will read appreciation messages, poems and letters from inmates, graduation programmes, letters of congratulations and thanks from the legislature and the community, newspaper articles and more on her role as the co-founder of Prison Fellowship, Chairman of the Treatment of Offenders Board and her account of an instructors' day in the prison. She currently volunteers her educational services as she believes giving back is the key to her success behind the prison walls."Prison itself is a tremendous education in the need for patience and perseverance. It is above all a test of one's commitment." ― Nelson Mandela

This volume makes a case for engaging critical approaches for teaching adults in prison higher education (or “college-in-prison”) programs. This book not only contextualizes pedagogy within the specialized and growing niche of prison instruction, but also addresses prison abolition, reentry, and educational equity. Chapters are written by prison instructors, currently incarcerated students, and formerly incarcerated students, providing a variety of perspectives on the many roadblocks and ambitions of teaching and learning in carceral settings. All unapologetic advocates of increasing access to higher education for people in prison, contributors discuss the high stakes of teaching incarcerated individuals and address the dynamics, conditions, and challenges of doing such work. The type of instruction that contributors advocate is transferable beyond prisons to traditional campus settings. Hence, the lessons of this volume will not only support readers in becoming more thoughtful prison educators and program administrators, but also in becoming better teachers who can employ critical, democratic pedagogy in a range of contexts.

Behind Prison Walls: Inmate Number 27773-016 is my expression and experience in prison. During my wilderness experience, I had to rely on God like never before. It was my breaking point; God was then able to speak to me where I wasn't able to run. I tried boxing with God, but I soon realized my arms where to short to box with God, so I begin to let go and let God.

The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to compare "the effect of education (παιδεία) and the lack of it on our nature". It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter. The allegory is presented after the analogy of the sun (508b–509c) and the analogy of the divided line (509d–511e). All three are characterized in relation to dialectic at the end of Books VII and VIII (531d–534e). Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them, and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality.
