The Prison and the Inmate's Conception of Legal Justice

An Experiment in Democratic Education

Program in Social Ecology University of California, Irvine

Joseph Hickey

Connecticut Department of Corrections

The goals of the proposed alternative were to create a setting which would actively stimulate the sociolegal thinking of the inmates involved and would aid inmates in leading successful lives following release from the institution.
