It occurs to me that prison is a very structured environment.

There may potentially be a case of a prisoner who might have for the first time taken on education in a determined way. They may get some qualifications but then they exit the prison system. Do challenges exist for when they reintegrate into mainstream society outside the prison in terms of continuing with or keeping a handle on education and keeping that connection? Is that a challenge? Do the prison educators work on the transition to ensure they have half an eye on where they can go next?
