TITLE :PRISON EDUCATION AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING AS INSTRUMENTS OF REHABILITATION AND SOCIAL REINTEGRATION
ABSTRACT: The concept of prison education has gained significant rehabilitative effects aimed at transforming the inmates into responsible members of society. Modern-day prison thinking is increasingly recognizing the concept that imprisonment is not merely meant to serve punitive ends, but it is also meant to promote the process of reformation, self-development, and assimilation into society. In this research paper, the value of prison education and vocational training is presented from different perspectives with respect to administration, human rights, and psychological and rehabilitative perspectives. The paper argues the effect of educational intervention in prisons on identity change, employability, reduction of recidivism, and human development in general through qualitative analysis of secondary research. The paper argues that education is not just a constitutional and moral mandate in the custodial institutions but also a practical tool in the aspects of sustainable crime prevention and social justice.
KEYWORDS: Prison Education, Vocational Training, Rehabilitation, Human Rights, Recidivism, Social Reintegration.
