Learning is perhaps the most fundamental part of the human condition. From the moment we are born until our final breath, we take in, process and react to our worlds. Prior to finding myself in prison, learning was not something that I gave much consideration to. Learning in prison, however, quickly became an important aspect of my life. My introduction to The Open University has turned out to be more valuable than I ever imagined....

Excuse me are you a prisoner? This is a hilarious question I am often asked as I walk to and from my prison wing to the education block. I never thought that just by developing my knowledge through studying with The Open University, my outwardly expressive demeanour would suggest to others that I am someone of a professional disposition. I can relate this to an early experience when I was challenged for walking with a limp, implying I held a bad attitude....
打扰一下，你是囚犯吗?这是我在监狱和教育大楼之间来回走动时经常被问到的一个有趣的问题。我从来没有想过，仅仅通过在The Open University的学习，我的知识得到了发展，我的外表表现会让别人觉得我是一个有专业气质的人。我可以将这与我早期的经历联系起来，当时我因为走路一瘸一拐而受到挑战，这意味着我的态度不好....

Prison is like a microcosm of technocratic totalitarianism where every action collapses under the weight of its own bureaucracy. This often requires a member of senior management to override the rules in order to get things done! If you don’t have a powerful backer, it’s not happening. Most actions, from asking for toilet paper to doing a prison magazine, become a Kafkaesque nightmare rivalling Franz Kafka’s novels such as ...

My Open University journey began after being found guilty of murder at 41 and given a life sentence with a minimum tariff of 16 years for a crime I did not commit. I found myself at HMP Belmarsh, certainly not one of the more attractive or forward-thinking prisons in the UK, with officers wanting to maintain their ‘harsh’ reputation. There was little choice of activities and I was immediately assigned to packing tea and cereal packs....

This chapter uses the voices from an Open University oral history project, Time to Think, to tell the extraordinary story of developing teaching and learning in a prison camp outside Belfast. As the political conflict in Northern Ireland gathered pace in the early 1970s, the newly established Open University was drawn into the collateral consequences in ways that were to prove both unpredictably fruitful and historically providential.
