  In Roundtable Session: Educational Justice Within and Beyond School Buildings (Table 27)

Abstract

This article explores conceptually the role and obligation that higher education programming has in prison spaces. A framework is employed, through Ladson-Billings work, that names the ways in which an accrued educational debt is owed to incarcerated students of color that can begin to be repaid through higher education in prison programming.
