| Description: | Shelagh Livingstone was a member of the Board of Visitors in the Maze and Long Kesh Prison from 1979 until the 1990s visiting mostly in the H blocks. She studied a course in Adult Learning and Adult Education in 1990 and tutored Open University Community Education courses with a women’s group in West Belfast. Here Shelagh recalls visiting a prison student who was doing a similar OU course as herself and how they gave each other peer support as students. Shelagh also reflects on the importance of women on the outside from the same communities as many of the prisoners inside reengaging with education themselves. | Rights statement: | Rights owned or controlled by The Open University |
