Abstract: Drawing on classic prison texts by Nelson Mandela (Conversations with Myself), Victor Frankl (Man’s Search for Meaning), Martin Luther King (Letters from a Birmingham Jail) and Malcolm X (The Autobiography of Malcolm X – by Alex Haley); this book makes the case that the prison cell is a counterspace that despite (and tragically sometimes because of) its frequent cruelty and injustice can be a space of adult transformative learning – in the words of Nelson Mandela “…. the cell is an ideal place to learn to know yourself, to search realistically and regularly to the process of your own mind and feelings.”
