    Welcome to Week 6

    Hi Adrian, If you are interested in prison education, the Journal of Prison Education and Re-entry (of which I am the editor) is an open access publication and contains lots of interesting articles on the subject. See https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/jper/.

    The emergence of prison as a punishment

    Hello Dorothy, David and Peter,

    Thanks for pointing this out. It is a typo that was not corrected during editing. It should should read 'civilised'.

    Hope you are enjoying the course.
