Education in the prison environment can have signifcant educational and behavioural outcomes in spite of the authoritarian nature of the regime, but to achieve either, a link must be established between the academic content of the programme and the realm of action. Three arguments, one political, one theoretical and the last educational, are advanced for the institution of democratic practices and a democratic ideology (though not necessarily a democratic pedagogy) within the prison education programme. Based on an experience in British Columbia, formal and informal democratic practices are seen as enhancing notions of citizenship, encouraging personal maturation and development, and deepening the impact of the educational content
