Ex-Prisoners and the Transformative Power of Higher Education

David Honeywell provides a short account of his PhD research into the Higher Education experiences of people with experience of imprisonment. In addition to charting their pathways, Honeywell is unusually well-equipped to combine them with his own account of transformation. A long sequence of prison sentences is brought to a close by his entry level study with The Open University. So begins a long haul that culminates in the triumph of a PhD, his own imprisonment a distant memory, but never forgotten.
