This study found that engaging prisoners in philosophy education enabled them to think about 'big questions in life' and see themselves and others differently, leading to a form of community that provided a space for self-reflection, pro-social interaction, and communal exploration of ideas. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 July 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong-term prisoners require ample opportunity for introspection and personal development. A groundbreaking study has revealed that engaging prisoners in philosophy education fosters profound introspection, enabling them to contemplate life's most fundamental questions and perceive themselves and others in new and transformative ways. Through the prisoners' own words, Szifris underscores the immense value of this type of education in promoting growth and development. She showcases how philosophical dialogue cultivated a sense of community, providing a platform for self-reflection, positive social interaction, and the collective exploration of ideas. This communal experience holds the potential for long-term positive consequences, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and others and contributing to personal and societal transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 402g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157 x 233 x 17 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529205558\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KirstineSzifris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094690328826,"sku":"9781529205558","price":21.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/ccb18d13eb8cde984f1bf370b0080469.jpg?v=1633661707","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/philosophy-behind-bars-growth-and-development-in-prison","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
