Sisyphus No More: The Case for Prison Education - Hardcover

by Roger C. Byrd (Author), Harvey McCloud (Author)

Sisyphus No More presents compelling psychological, sociological, ethical, and financial grounds for providing more and better education and training to our incarcerated population. The arguments show that education and training programs humanize prisoners, support their reintegration into society and securing a living-wage job.
