If convicted prisoners are to be offered education on equal terms with others in society, the right to education must be clearly stipulated in the legislation. Present and future prison education must always be considered in the light both of the educational system applying society as a whole and relevant international recommendations and conventions. According to this report, good cooperation between the Prison and Probation Services and other authorities is one of the key starting points for satisfying prisoners' educational needs. The prison education offered today does not satisfactorily correspond to prisoners' educational needs. It also only accounts for a small fraction of the cost of a place in prison. Increased investments in prison education would probably be of added value for society as a whole. The study also points out the importance of crime prevention both to prisons and to society in general. This report provides useful documentation for individuals working with any aspect of the wider problem complex relating to prison and probation services.
