Abstract
Increased national and international attention, focused on the treatment of young people, particularly Indigenous youth, in Australian prisons and juvenile detention centres, has prompted renewed recognition of the role of corrections education in addressing interconnected issues of poverty, unemployment and recidivism. There is a dearth of action research, however, into what works and what doesn’t work in the delivery of higher education to incarcerated students in Australian correctional centres. This article identifies both problems and solutions in reaching and supporting incarcerated higher education students with limited or no internet access. This article argues that the way forward for improved access and equity for incarcerated students is through effective collaboration between the two key institutions of the university and the correctional centre.
