Rod Clark, CEO of Prisoners Education Trust, discussed the importance of education in prisons at an open forum conference on prison reform. Education supports over 35,000 prisoners through distance learning courses, advice, and arts/hobby materials. Imprisonment damages employment prospects, housing, family contacts, mental health, and sense of identity/agency. Education is shown to reduce reoffending by 13-15% and change lives based on case studies and research on desistance theory. There is high demand for education among prisoners as 47% have no qualifications and learning is not viewed as for them by many. Progress is being made implementing recommendations to make education central to rehabilitation, but fragility in many prison regimes and need for continued political

This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.
Sexual Health is Just Health: Findings from a CDC National STD Prevention Tra...YTH
Think about the last time you thought you had an STD. How did you feel? Who did you tell? What did you do? Awkward, right? Maybe this hasn't happened to you personally, but each year over 20 million Americans contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Over 50% are youth and most go undetected and untreated. Just Health is a risk screen app being used in over 100 School-Based Health Centers and is the flagship tool of a National CDC Center for Technology Innovation that is focused on adolescent sexual health. Just Health works to improve patient-provider communication and reduce stigma around a range of topics from safety, substance use, mental health, and sexual health including the intersectionality of needs and gender identity and sexual orientation. Just Health is an example of ongoing evaluation in real-word conditions. Population-level data are improving understanding of these needs and risks from a system perspective.

Study Participants Answers to Interview Questions
Participant #1:
1. What are the disparities between jail and youth rehabilitation for African American offenders?
a. African Americans will be imprisoned more than their white counterparts who will be given rehabilitation, institutional racism exists, and the system will spend more man hours and time dealing with white offenders than black offenders.
2. What are some social issues that African American juveniles are faced with?
a. Sociocultural stigmas, single-parent households, inadequate educational systems, poor role models, and single-parent households
3. Why are African American male juveniles not offered other means of rehabilitative punishments?
a. The New Jim Crow is our correctional system, which seeks to fill jail cells by incarcerating more black and Latino people who are then utilized as enslaved people in the system for huge corporations and the US Government. The system indicates they are not receptive and will not change.
4. What effects does the existing jail and punishment system have on this population?
a. Demeaning and discouraging—we should fund educational aid, mental health services, and instruction. Providing people with helpful tools, role models, and direction will also help them become contributing members of society
Participant #2:
1. Youth rehabilitation centers should provide mechanisms to prevent offenders from committing crimes but in order to effectively do that the differences amongst AA juveniles and other races must be addressed, while jail just allows for a separation from society to think about the crime.
2. African American male juveniles are faced with a predetermined
perception of being criminals as well as a lack of resources in their communities to educate them on the different career paths & trades that exist.
3. The funding doesn’t exist to provide other rehabilitative opportunities in AA communities.
4. The existing punishment system allows offenders to be separated from the public but it doesn’t provide them with any resources to be successful once their time is complete. Not addressing the underlying issues of how they entered the system as well as how to they can live a successful life after now being labeled as a criminal normally results in repeat offenders.
Participant #3:
1. The youth aren’t getting the proper guidance, mental healthcare and attentiveness in jail. They’re already “written off” which leads to them believing what they’re being taught and increasing the likelihood of them becoming repeat offenders. In youth rehab, you’re given a second chance, you’re being taught how to manage your mental and emotional state. You are being prepared for the world.
2. Prejudice. Are seen as thugs, no good. Etc. don’t have proper resources to get them back on their feet. Difficulty getting jobs, getting into school once released.
3. Unsure, but I’m sure it’s race.
4. You can become in.

Scope of Practice and Patient’s Healthcare Accessibility PurposLesleyWhitesidefv
Scope of Practice and Patient’s Healthcare Accessibility
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to identify the scope of practice in one’s state including level of independence of practice, prescribing authority, any limitations of practice, process for obtaining licensure in your state, certification and education requirements for licensure. Next, students will discuss how the level of independence of practice in their state, i.e., reduced, restricted or full practice, affects patient’s access to care in their local community.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
1. Understand NP practice as defined by law (CO2)
2. Determine legislation as defined by legislation, statutes and regulations (CO2)
3. Identify barriers to ensuring patient’s rights (CO3)
Due Date: Wednesday by 11:59pm MST of Week 6
Initial responses to the discussion topic must be posted by Wednesday 11:59pm MT. Two additional posts to peers and/or faculty are due by Sunday at 11:59pm MT. Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due.
A 10% late penalty will be imposed for discussions posted after the deadline on Wednesday of week 6, regardless of the number of days late. NOTHING will be accepted after 11:59pm MT on Sunday (i.e. student will receive an automatic 0).
Total Points Possible: 100
Requirements:
1. Discuss your state NP community in terms of scope of practice. Include the your state’s scope of practice for NPs including:
· Level of independence of practice **In California, NPs are required to practice under Standardized Procedure Guidelines. If CA is your intended practice state, please provide details on how Standardized Procedures Guidelines are developed in California and an example of a California SPG.
· Prescribing authority
· Any limitations of practice
· Process for obtaining licensure in your state
· Certification and education requirements for licensure.
2. If you live in a restricted or reduced practice state, how has patient care been impacted in your local community from these barriers? For instance, is the ED used for primary care? Are the EDs overcrowded with long wait times? Are there urgent care clinics readily available? Is there adequate access to primary care? If you live in a full practice, how has independent practice of the APN resulted in improved patient access to healthcare?
3. How does access to NPs impacts any healthcare disparities?
4. A scholarly resource must be used for EACH discussion question each week.

Patient and Public Involvement in Research: From Rhetoric To RealityMarie Ennis-O'Connor
It’s an exciting time in health research. As a broader view of what constitutes expertise and research evolves, barriers between the research community and the public are eroding, paving the way for the growth of patient and public involvement (PPI) in research.
PPI occurs when individuals meaningfully and actively collaborate in the governance, priority setting, and conduct of research, as well as in summarizing, distributing, sharing, and applying its resulting knowledge. PPI is an important step in ensuring that the real life experiences of patients are considered in decision-making processes around research.

2. 25+ years of experience
Prisoners supported on over 35,000
occasions: distance learning courses
NVQ to degree
& advice
Arts and hobby materials
Policy
Influence
Research
3. Imprisonment damages
Employment – & makes getting a job more difficult
Housing
Contacts with family
Mental health and wellbeing
It reinforces an identity
based on criminality
It removes a sense of control and agency over life
We know that these things contribute to reoffending
4. We know that education
changes lives…
Evidence of case studies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPMgkjVo5C4&feature=youtu.be
Evidence from qualitative research
desistance theory – the importance of hope & agency
Hard quantified data
5. Quantified evidence
• SPCR: Prisoners with a qualification
15% less likely to be reconvicted
• RAND meta-analysis in the US:
13% reduction in reoffending from
educational programmes
• Evidence from the Justice Data Lab
8. Dame Sally Coates
“Education should be at the heart of the
prison system… Prisoners are in prison
because they have done wrong. But once
they have served their time, it is just to
them and in the interests of their
communities that they have the same
decent chance. The chance to re-enter
society successfully, to find work, to live
fulfilling lives.
If education is the engine of social mobility, it is also the engine of
prisoner rehabilitation.”
Unlocking Potential: A review of education in prison May 2016
9. Demand for education
45% reconvicted within one
year of release
Annual cost of re-offending
£9.5-13bn
47% of prisoners reported having no qualifications
42% were permanently excluded from school
21% reported needing help with reading, writing or numeracy
c5% were educated beyond A level (3% a degree)
Only one in ten prisoners –“learning is not for people like me”
10. How?
Aspiration – Government, prisons, individuals
Learning that engages:
Learning that meets prisoner aspirations
Learning in contexts and ways that prisoners want
‘Nudge’ thinking – trusted messengers, socialising
Learner voice and agency
11. Risks and opportunities
Progress on implementing Coates recommendations:
Greater clarity of rehabilitative purpose
Governor and whole prison
New flexibility: engagement, progression, enablers
Moves towards greater use of ICT
BUT
Fragility of regimes in
many prisons
Political leadership?
