| Abstract | This study examined the educational situation of prisoners enrolled in courses at the FernUniversitat (the German distance teaching university). A survey questionnaire, developed with the help of imprisoned students, was administered to approximately 200 student prisoners. Of the 99 returns, 95 were found usable to base the results of this study. Results included the following: (1) only half of the students had the formal educational qualifications usually required for studying at a German university. About half of the students enrolled for single courses, while the others were either full-time or part-time students of degree programs; (2) the most-cited motivations for studying were in order to make sense of the prison sentence and to improve the chances for getting a job after being released from prison. Some of the students noted preservation of health was cited as an important reason for beginning studies; (3) about half of the students did not get any financial support for their study, and most practical and emotional support came from parents, siblings, friends and teachers in the prison; (4) one third of the students had the opportunity to cooperate with other imprisoned students within the prison; (5) one third of the students had regular contacts with their tutors; (6) very few students were allowed to leave the prison for study purposes; (7) most were only moderately satisfied with their study, but about 75% thought that it helped make their prison time more endurable; and (8) many study problems were cited, partly due to the situation within the prison and partly due to regulations of the FernUniversitat that were perceived as reflecting lack of consideration for prisoners' special circumstances. Contains approximately 100 references. A copy of the survey instrument is appended. (Author) |
