Description

"The case study discussed in this report was undertaken in 2014 and focuses on the learning experiences and aspirations of five inmates involved in the BCS program and of a further five who were not involved in this program or undertaking activities within the broader Sentenced to a Job initiative. All inmates in this study were Aboriginal men coming from the (remote) Katherine region and were classified as low security by DCS. A case study methodology was used, with qualitative methods applied to gain a deep understanding of the learning experiences and aspirations of inmates. The study was guided by the question: How do differing learning experiences through the prison influence employment and other aspirations?" - Executive summary, Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
