Hugely impressive to watch four men — with variously deprived educational backgrounds — think together, enjoy developing an argument together and collaborate in the editorial process across a whole day. They entitle it ‘Deciphering the Narrative’. Brilliantly received by others when transmitted.

Excited to have launched a philosophy podcast on the content hub of one of our partner prisons. The podcast has been devised, recorded and edited by some of our longstanding participants in the prison, in collaboration with @mmmccabe.bsky.social. We’re grateful to all involved!

Our evidence on 'Changing prison cultures through education' submitted to the House of Lords' Justice and Home Affairs Committee has been cited in their report 'Better Prisons: Less Crime'. We are working hard to see that inclusive education is at the forefront of solutions to the prison crisis.

“Hated school, dropped out at 11, can’t read, can’t write. But I can do this.” This is a great read about the charity @philosophyinprison.bsky.social‬ - and the impact philosophy courses can have on confidence, mental health and constructive dialogue in prison.

What I’ve learned from teaching philosophy in prisons

‘With philosophy, people care about what I think. Nobody listens when you’ve been in prison. Everything you think is wrong, rubbish, you’re nothing.’
