What We Do | Philosophy in Prison Charity
Philosophy in Prison is a charity set up in 2018 to promote philosophical education in prisons and to explore the practical and philosophical principles that this involves.
Our evidence on 'Changing prison cultures through education' submitted to the House of Lords' Justice and Home Affairs Committee has been cited in their report 'Better Prisons: Less Crime'. We are working hard to see that inclusive education is at the forefront of solutions to the prison crisis.

What Iβve learned from teaching philosophy in prisons
βWith philosophy, people care about what I think. Nobody listens when youβve been in prison. Everything you think is wrong, rubbish, youβre nothing.β
βHated school, dropped out at 11, canβt read, canβt write. But I can do this.β
This is a great read about the charity @philosophyinprison.bsky.social⬠- and the impact philosophy courses can have on confidence, mental health and constructive dialogue in prison.
