Recensioner i media

"The life-changing impact of university access is evident throughout this book. Critical analysis and questioning minds expose the pains of incarceration, the hypocrisy of rehabilitation. Tutors and students together ease those pains, challenge that hypocrisy.' Phil Scraton, Queen's University
